Well, you can call it that if you want to, but to me, as a user of

version of IE that nobody (trust me, nobody is using pre IE4 version
anymore) uses.  So you either sound misinformed (which you're not,
once you clarify that you're talking about IE3, but you didn't do that
in the announcement, just in followups once someone pointed out this
isn't a problem now) or you sound like you have an axe to grind, or
more accurately, a needle to poke.

I said MSIE sometimes required the explicit button.  I'm glad to hear that
it's fixed in the recent versions, but MSIE3 is still in active use today.

I'll be grinding some Netscape axes in a couple days too.  :)
