Well, coding for Lynx only is not the worst thing you could do; after all,
it involves just writing good semantic HTML, which there's plenty of
technical support for right in this newsgroup. The OP's problem seems to
be that he wants to write for Lynx _and_ control the formatting of his
pages. Unlike writing pages for IE6 only, that's not really harmful, it's
just impossible.
