It *is* true - something does not become untrue because it is statistically
insignificant or can be ignored or has over-riding considerations. But you
make a good point anyway. (Notice that I have carefully restrained myself,
kchayka... maybe I am starting to have warmer feelings towards you). I
would like to hear some confirmations of the support for PNG in browsers
later than 4. I have been looking at PNGs a bit and might start using them
rather more, being impressed with what others have done on their websites
and some favourable comments by various people on this newsgroup.
