really, what is the point of comments like:

> Here is a copy of an email I just sent to Burt Lau.  Maybe he'll buy a
clue.

and:

> You can write a letter to the editor.  I emailed a message 
> directly  to the jerk.

Just because the guys opinions aren't the same as yours just means that his
opinions aren't the same as yours.  His being wrong on this issue (and yes,
he is wrong) doesn't make him clueless or a jerk, and getting self-righteous
and snippy is counter-productive.  Better to say that yeah, there was a time
when Netscape was the lead browser, but then IE kicked its butt, but that in
reality there are better alternatives to both.

As a side question, maybe my browser isn't showing me the whole thing, but
doesn't the article seem awfully short and nearly pointless?  Is this really
the last line: "It's amazing how it is still a one-browser world. Or is it?
;-)?"
