Browsers...

[numa at thenuma.com]

If you had read my post, you will know that I was suggesting opera as a
good browser for those sites that DO NOT render at all in
Phoenix/Moz/Netscape.  Now, if your contention is that opera is a "browser
at your own risk" relative to phoenix, ok, sure.  But, if your contention
is that IE is less of a "browser at your own risk",  that's just funny.
