Wrong.
Most browsers (including Galeon) are based on either IE or Mozilla rendering
engines.
That's why they say *may* not function correctly.

I'm sure they are, but what's that got to do with Sensis' Yellowpages site??

Wrong, as usual. The Sensis site works fine with Galeon. Try getting your
facts straight.

What's even more stupid is that I'm using Mozilla and get that message too!
They're too incompetent to even detect one of the browsers they claim to
support.

Its never gunna be feasible to make it

The clowns that cant manage to access it can use a better browser.

Nope, they do what makes a lot more sense,
bare their arses at clowns like you instead.

> I notice with windows ..that Opera has troubles with the Yellow Pages Site
Opera has no problem with the Yellow Pages site, aside from Telstra's
"warning" that pops up when you enter the site claiming that your browser
is unsupported (which of course is web-designer-speak for "I don't know how
to design a site that works for everyone").

Arguing with the SpeedBot is pointless. It isn't human and will grind you
down in the end. But in the meantime you need to learn to snip.

You won't reason with the jerk - when he takes his medication, he sometimes *almost* makes sense.
Either treat him like the joke he is and give the same back (he will keep going 'till he has the
last word) or ignore him.
