If you truly believe one small line at the bottom of each page, after the other "non-important" text like copyright 2002 and link to privacy policy (which non-sighted users can/will "skip", which Lynx users will see as just another line of text - the last line I might add, and which browsers which support current w3c technologies will never receive) is counterproductive, then don't do it. I'm not forcing anybody to do anything, but the reality is that *most* users DO use a graphical browser, including flawed, outdated ones. I propose to help educate and to perhaps improve the state of the web (in my own small way) by encouraging users to keep their software up to date - you call it nagging. I am seeking to engage dialogue, to get people (visitors to my web site(s)) to consider a larger issue and perhaps even improver their own user experience by using up-to-date software, or requesting that their IT departments do so - you consider it rude and patronizing. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. What else can I say? JF
