You need to go deeper into the thread to see this. IE Mac is
basically irrelevant to the trouble with IE. The whole thing
started with Bruce Grubb saying silly things about not needing to
worry about making special provisions for IE. IE means IE Win.
Understand this! It is in the context of ensuring that a very
great many people do not get mangled versions of websites. So
when I see a Mac fellow idiotically going on about something that
a very very small % of folk use (especially now) in the present
context, I react. Are you following this at all? Perhaps it is
unworthy of you to be supporting Bruce Grubb so much... I sense
that you are saveable.

I want that you and Bruce should at least get to see the basic
rationality of a website developer doing more than resting on his
or her laurels because they have followed the W3C standards. Once
you have appreciated this, I will have nothing to add.
