I don't want to come off as a curmudgeon, but I think the statement on the homepage should be re-evaluated:
This site best viewed using "Internet Explorer"-the internet standard I can't really figure out why that is there, or why someone would even say that? IE is widely regarded as the slowest and security-hole riddled browser by IT professionals. I only view this site with Firefox or Chrome and have never had a problem. It'd be great to see that statement go. |

I've been annoyed with that phrase on the home page as well. The "internet standard" is the w3c and nothing else. Ironically, IE actually has a long history of violations of the w3c standard. |

The ONLY reason IE is considered any sort of "standard" is because it comes on all Windows based pc's and most people don't know that there are better browsers out there.
What really grinds my gears is a website that can only be viewed or a special feature used because the web designer is an IE script kiddy who doesn't realize that the computing universe doesn't revolve around Redmond, Washington.

I'll remove it shortly. Remember, that was put on the page way back in the beginning, when firefox and other browsers didn't even exist. The main browsers being used in those days were IE and Netscape - both of which weren't the greatest to begin with. I see sites today that say "best viewed in firefox" ... but, of course, we all know it doesn't really make any difference. IMO, someone who writes a site to be "best viewed" in a particular browser and makes it a point to actually say so on the site isn't doing his job.
Somebody kick me off the computer, will ya?
