Excellent!  I didn't know Internet Exploiter had that.  Here's one thing • I've
been experimenting with in Netscrape Navigator...

You know, I know you don't like these tools. But they *are* trademarked
names, and I feel you're diluting the trademark when you make fun of
them. You seem to do it just about every time too. Just something to
ponder.

I believe his characterization of IE would fall under (political) parody and is
therefore fair use.  The other possibility is that he meant it as
fact, which he would be completely justified as claiming,
even in court.  I'm not sure about the Netscape comment, but that's
probably fair too.  Have you ever been to a Needless Markup store?
