It might have been funny the first time but it is posted in every article. Go look for it. He is a unregistered troll. I just would like to see if Don Knotts has authorized the use of his image.

But I think, at some point, developers have to start supporting what's out there, not blaming IE or another site when stuff that works for them doesn't work on Mozilla. Pain in the ass? Yes... but if a customer comes into your store with a bad southern accent, you don't stick your fingers in your ears and scream "I can't hear you!" over and over again until they speak proper english or leave.
Or put another way, you can't choose what the rest of the world does. You can only choose to work with it, or not work with it, and Mozilla choosing to not work with it is 100% Mozilla's choice and 100% Mozillas fault. Not liking that the language people actually use isn't the language the standards body defined (or really, that the language people actually use was partially defined by a company you don't like) is not an excuse.
