This is very true.  I got my church-users to question FP because I recoded a
couple of the pages by hand, and the people who couldn't see the pages suddenly
could.  Interesting enough, the people with the most viewing problems were AOL
users using IE (so go figure).  The pages worked find on my Netscape/Linux
terminal.

I was just clarifying for the questioners sake.
