cox and accessibility

Quite frankly I don't see why they have to cater to the linux community. It
would be NICE yes, but not something required by law. Or are you going to
complain about every web site that doesn't support your browser and only
supports IE and Netscape? If so, then by all means go right ahead..

Also, can I see some source code proof showing they intentionally, through
thier cgi, jscript, whatever, throw you an error for not using IE or NS? Or
is it that, because the HTML standard is BEYOND messed up between ALL
browsers, that it's really hard and cumbersome to program for all types?
>From what i've seen of the HTML standards, and how each browser implements
them, no browser is any where near perfect.
