Hi Al,

I just reviewed your message, but am at work and cannot reply at length.

I'm using IE 5.5 and don't even have this function (View | Privacy Report).
Is my system maybe just strange?

Many sites add a disclaimer on the home page something to the effect that
the "site was designed for optimal viewing with IE 5.0 or better", including
my own corporation's client-facing web apps. I think this may be doubly true
for non-profit organizations who may not have the resources to address
Netscape's variations to the IE "defacto standard".

Have you already created this? I'd be very interested in seeing it - ok, I'm
a geek :)

You know that I have.

I'm very glad you're feeling better Al. I still I could have gotten the
"short list" of issues, and that you would have changed the AG link as I
asked on July 11.

Respectfully,
