Thanks Ian! I enjoyed the giggle :)

One of my loyal readers pointed me to this site, coincidentally after reading my blogpost about the Bit9 assessment which placed Firefox 1.0.7 as the most dangerous non-malicious software out there: http://www.cweiske.de/ It seems the owner/author doesn't like IE and is blocking access to IE users.
