No, but you guys seem to think that everyone is like you and don't know how
to use a mouse or run there screen resolution above 320x200. I'm not going
to waste my time designing my site for every jack ass that doesn't want to
use a mouse or turn on javascript. Its just tough if they want to use IE 1
and not upgrade to IE 7 or firefox. I'll be damned if I'm going to spend 10x
as long trying to design the site so it will work for every one last
possibility just so no one is left out. I'm designing the site for me and
not for them. If no one else in the world knows how to use a mouse but me
then so be it. I guess I'll be the only vistor. Its also not my fault that
there are so many differences between browsers that I have to spend 3x as
much time designing the site just so it works on the main four.

What you guys forget is that it is my choice rather than yours on how I want
to design it. Now if you want to design it for me for free and take into
account all that stuff then I'll be more than happy to let you do it how
ever you want as long as it keeps with some theme I have. But I have better
things to do with my time than design it for every tard that doesn't have a
mouse, run at 800x600 or better, have js turned, run in a modern browser,
and have a decent connection. I would expect that this covers atleast 50%
of anyone that would visit my site and it would probably be more like 80%.
If not then its there fault and not mine. Now if they want to use the site
for there purposes then they can design the site to work for them and then
give me the code and I'll be happy to use it.

When you go buy a car you do you think the car is made to work for handicap
people? When you buy clothes do are they designed in such a way to fit
everyone perfectly? No, they are designed for the "avg" person. My site
will be designed for the avg person. And if I'm wrong that the avg person
doesn't have a mouse then thats just too bad.
