Thanks Lar... a nice and respectable response. (...) It does... but, for the record I guess, I'm not frustrated in the sense that I go around all day consumed by BrickShelf's deterioration.

It occurs to me that many people are probably using IE 6 by now; at the same time most people are likely unaware of some weird and poorly chosen default settings in the browser.
