I have been a Netscape user for almost 8 years. I refuse to use IE!!

Dave, the context of "I refuse", is nothing more than an attitude
adjustment problem.
;-)

I spent years writing HTML based web pages in HTML!! And, I always Beta
tested my pages against all available browsers.

I've written HTML-based web pages also. And of course I always Beta test
my pages as
well. However "all available browsers" includes only two: NS and IE. My
final
tests always come out correct when testing with IE. Usually there is some
little
quirk with NS. That is the reason for the statement at the bottom of the
page, "This
site best viewed with Internet Explorer", and includes a graphic link to
MS if you
want to download the IE browser.

You can view the web pages with NS if you want, but the "disclaimer" is
there for a
reason. The guidelines that govern what nomenclature is used to make up
HTML code
has some differences between NS and IE. Until both companies agree on the
same
actual code, there will always be problems - unless you know *both*
variants of HTML
programming.

The current software for designing web sites is compliant with the Bill
Gates world, but, the world is bigger than Bill Gates.

Yes, it is. But not by much :-)

Really Ordained, or jus because I wrote Microsoft bashing has (for some
people) a nice religious feeling?
