I am fully aware of that, but since IE9 is near final release, I thought

perhaps that IE7 may have been subject to the same blocking measures by

certain sites (including, of course You-Tube).



The "banner" that appears in You-Tube, telling you that you have a

less-than-up-to-date browser, goes on to advocate a number of "acceptable"

alternatives....



These "acceptable" alternatives, include :



Google Chrome

Mozilla Firefox

Internet Explorer 8

Opera 9

Apple Safari



You will please note that IE7 is NOT among the list - ONLY Internet

Explorer 8!!

What are you smoking? IE9 Beta hasn't even started yet (and IE9 will not be

supported in WinXP).

Okay so I'M WRONG ABOUT IE9!!!! Satisfied?



But all you "nit-pickers" just love focusing on the one point that isn't

THE point of what I was saying!!!



That's how all these petty arguments that plague these groups are started.



The ONLY thing of importance I was saying was : that IE7 was NOT among the

list of acceptable browsers that the You-Tube website was trying (forcibly)

to advocate one switching to - ONLY Internet Explorer 8 was on that list!!!

P.S. The list of "acceptable" browsers according to You-Tube :



Google Chrome

Mozilla Firefox

Internet Explorer 8

Opera 9

Apple Safari





....and Robear, please don't imply I am a dope smoker - it is not worthy of

you.
