I agree. Earlier in my personal "web-page making progression" I had an
ie6-specific version, but it just wasn't worth it or "cool" to
redirect/whatever.

Not an option (for me). I understand the "web-page vs. book-page"
philosophy and all that, but the scrollbar is where I draw the line.

Well, it's easy enough to do with php/server-side, but I think I am going
to leave the template just as it is now. How many images normally exceed
the viewport in both dimensions, anyway, and ie6, while it will
undoubtedly fester for awhile, is definitely in attrition. Furthermore,
it really aggravates me to have to code-around browser screw-ups.
