First, we all got "treated" to Web sites that had lines like "Best
Viewed with [browser name] version [number] at [number]x[number]
resolution on [platform]", telling us that we were second-class citizens
because our browser/platform/screen of choice differed.

Next, we got spam e-mails that emulated this by telling us to upgrade
our mail program to properly view their ads, if we had the effrontery
to, for instance, use a mail program that is configured to display the
plain-text version of a multipart message instead of the HTML one.

Now, even Usenet isn't free of this, as we have posts like yours that
tell us that they're best viewed in the author's favorite newsreader!

Where will this end?
