I was not really that concerned - you seemed sincere in your desire to
build something helpful. But, it is nice to hear an 'official'
statement too. :-) You might consider placing this policy in a privacy
notice on the site. It's a nice change to read ones that are good. :-)

I sympathize with your concern. M$ would *love* to have you code for
IE only. :-) I would be MUCH more impressed with a plain site having
good information - I can forego the fancy stuff. It is possible to do
a lot with simple code that can be read with any browser. Please try
to ***maximize*** compatibility, even though M$ will hate you. :-)

For example, if I have scripting and 'refresh' disabled, your home
page is completely blank! Not a good start. :-) Do you REALLY have to
call your *home* page with a meta 'refresh'? I'd think something a bit
simpler would do just fine. What am I missing?

Glad to hear it!

Thanks again for your efforts. I hope you don't take this feedback the
wrong way. :-)
