So the other day I noticed that a former acquaintance's webpage had an obnoxiously large font, and I thought, hey, why not be nice and clue him in that most likely, his readers don't have vision problems just yet. Was I thanked? Why, no. Here's how the conversation went:

Me: You have a totally big font on your site.
Firefox Lover: What browser are you viewing it in?
Me: Well I would view it on Firefox, but it takes forever to open on my computer (my computer is a geezer).
Firefox Lover: Bleh.

Alright, when did it become okay to disregard those who still use internet explorer? For the record, I like Firefox. As I said in the conversation, it just takes too long to start up on my geezer computer.

According to this article, IE held 94.73% of the browser market in July of 2004. Yes, the article is about how Mozilla is gaining in on IE. But it's not by a lot, and it's not happening fast. So let's say IE's popularity has decreased even more since then and just estimate that it's now at least at 90%. That's a lot of people to be snubbing. Unless you're doing it because you're too lazy to bother with any other browsers. That's different. I think I can tolerate sloths better than snoots.
