    Nice theory, shame it doesn't work.

    Just today a co-worker asked me about why many pages weren't looking right in Firefox, and I explained to him the whole issue of most web designers optimizing their pages for IE which doesn't follow the standards too well, as well as how no matter how standards compliant another browser is, if it gets garbage for data, it probably isn't going to look pretty.

    I ended with "... and that's why I run IE".

    His response, "Sounds good to me".

    He was converted to Firefox for a time by an in-house OSS zealot .. but I'm proud to say that I've converted him back.
