Thought this might be amusing to some - it's a link to an actual
stylesheet. Take a look at the first two classes defined, and then take
another look at the URL...

And lo, Tony didst speak in
alt.www.webmaster,comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets:

Har har! :) I wonder if those things are fixed in IE7, or if the
Microsoft Connect developers even care?

*LOL*

I thought the general opinion and consensus was that everything non-IE should
be eradicated [1], so why IE 'hacks'?

When I first saw the subject line I thought you were referring to:

"Microsoft says Windows users should "take care not to
visit unfamiliar or untrusted Web sites that could potentially
host the malicious code"

It _is_ amusing! And brings back fond memories, of the quickly (but not
quickly enough) pulled ad banner MS used a while ago promoting
Frontpage's code cleanup quality... For those of you who did not see it,
or forgot about it, care to see it again, have a looksee over here:

MAybe it wasn't a glitch after all ? *GRIN*

Just made my day, Tony! Cheers!

M$oft is highly Balkanised. Some of the worst criticisms I've heard of
M$oft products (chiefly IE, ASP.NET and Word) have come from M$oft
developers in other divisions.
