Well, the folks at http://www.webstandards.org responded to my link yesterday, so I gave 'em another chance. I went to their site with Lynx and Netscape 3.0 with JavaScript turned off, and it's much better. Link styles aren't totally hosed, they have underlines and are therefore recognizeable. I don't know what it is about what they're doing, but that site looks a whole lot better when not viewed with Netscape 4.5. Anyways, sorry, guys. People who just don't get it: http://www.webstandards.org/ has lots of Java script to obscure the usual web interface, font specifications, and, to top it off, no content (which is fitting)... "Fighting for Standards in our Browsers". I don't mean to be like a cynic or anything, but do you guys realize what happens if someone with a personally configured browser hits your site? Total chaos.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
