[G4] A joke

It is a joke that there are still web-pages that require Internet  
Explorer, and will not run on anything else. Most of the pages will  
probably load fine on any browser. But building a modern page for  
only IE or any single web browser seems senseless for web  
professionals... There locking out the "world" in world wide web, it  
will be a great day when to them the world is not only people using  
IE on Windows. They should know that the internet should be viewable  
by anyone anywhere on any platform.

So don't let those web developers get to lazy... I would recommend  
providing some good feedback to the people who maintain the web-page  
that you are trying to use... If enough people complain about it they  
might fix it. Making your browser appear to them like IE is just  
avoiding the real issue and keeping them thinking that most people  
visiting the website are all using proprietary MS IE stuff,  
encouraging them to further keep supporting the crap.
