Were you a bully at school? ;)

Seriously though, why does our hit counter on the server report this
statistic if it is false? Why have other programmers, some very respected
in the Google Maps community, agreed with us that JS is off in less than 1%
of browsers. And those who know how to turn it off, also know how to turn
it back on very easily!

I am not the programmer of the site, but I am allowed to ask the question in
the subject. Forgive me if this has been a problem for some of you. The
majority of replies have been constructive and understanding. Thanks and
kudos to Brian, Vincent, and now jojo too who gets it.

Totally bizarre you guys. I'm normally able to think laterally but you've
defeated me :-S Quoting exactly what our server counter says, and what
others have agreed with, isn't really a "lie" now is it. Come on.

Let's agree to disagree, as we have a site to build. It's been lovely
chatting with you all ;)
