  You are correct that this issue of open standards is a concern, just as
  Mr Schultz and I suggested.  However, my point is that this listserv
  seems to have already acted as prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner
  against Microsoft.  As one example, just after my post, you yourself
  posted another message titled "Another example of EI4.0 only Web site".
  Before the flames start, I am NOT trying to defend MS.  I just want to
  point out that not all problems are "MSIE ONLY" sites.
