Ah, yes.... exactly.... Any you are surprised?  Surely not....

I would assume that your gmail email addy says it all.  Mind now, I'm not saying 
this is all fine.... I've just been around long enough now to recognize status 
quo, shrug, say "piss on it" and go on about my own business.

[Which in this case is trying to make a DAMNED 3 column theme behave in IE.  And 
to which end I have bowed to necessity and am going to use an IE-specific 
stylesheet *sigh*.]

[[Yes, Petit, I know that the OP in that thread I moderated was worried about 
some security stuff.  But security stuff is NOT my forte.  Keeping potentially 
nasty politically charged flamewars away is one of my roles however.... which 
was my only reason for dealing with that thread at all.]]
