I am fairly used to visiting (and generally dismissing outright) web sites that tell me what screen resolution or browser I should use. But one I visited today really takes the cyberbiscuit. If you visit http://www.cmyuk.netstationers.co.uk with a browser they don't like, you are presented with several paragraphs of - frankly ludicrous - instructions, viz:

"If you are using Firefox please click here to install the IE Tab add-on. Once installed and Firefox has been restarted add www.cmyuk.netstationers.co.uk to the IE Tab Options found under the Tools menu.

If you are using Netscape 8 or above choose the 'Display Like Internet Explorer' option under the View>Rendering Engine menu item.

Other browsers are not currently supported. Please contact your sales representative for more information on this issue:

I just can't believe that anyone would bother to install plugins and configure his browser just to view a non-essential web site. The web developer - or the idiot who agreed to this specification - should be taken out and pelted with firefox turds till (s)he gives in. Then lightly beaten with the current WAI, HTML and CSS specifications for enlightenment.

I visited it in IE6 to see what all the fuss was about, and it's just some text in coloured boxes, a login form, and a couple of images. So, what's the problem, Mr Price? Do you live in the same word as most people, or a specially elevated corner of cyberspace on which us ordinary mortals shouldn't presume to trespass?
