Olin, the fact that something is used alot doesn't detract from it being
REALLY crappy vs. pretty much everything else out there.

Look at IE6, still used by LOADs of people (some forced to because of
custom apps), yet pretty much every web developer shivers at the thought
of their site having to support it (there was a recent push for major
sites to stop supporting it outright).

Enough. You've made your "opinion" VERY clear on this issue multiple
times on multiple occasions, rehashing it every few weeks does NOTHING
for the list.

Discussions of this sort (tabs vs. space, where line breaks should be,
etc) from now on should be done through private mail, NOT on the list,
most certainly not with the PIC tag, but from now on not on the list at
all.

Thanks, TTYL
