Richard, What is the other site? Let the list know. If every one here visits it once, the number of non-IE browsers in their log files will be astounding. And all we have to do is click the link in your email.
Think of it as a grass roots campaign. Lets see what affect it has.
What's the URL?
Ah, good point. That would be http://www.weightwatchers.com
email objecting to it has been delivered. I like this idea, pester the hell out of these weenies.
Sent my complaint as well.
Added For standards info please visit. World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/
I think all users that visit a site should take the time to send a short message pointing to the World Wide Web Consortium.

I also did this to Fidelity at Fidelity.com. I pointed out that if I told the web server that I was using IE under Windows, the site worked just fine. I'm guessing that they will add FireFox to their list of supported web browsers. I even pointed out that the core of Netscape 7.x is Mozilla and that is what FireFox was built on.
Man, I couldn't even get the weightwatchers.com homepage! Directly to a 'the page cannot be displayed' page I was sent. The only thing other than that that I could access was the help page, but nothing in there was accessable either: I couldn't even email tech support! I sould mention that I was on opera 7.54 on kde in FC3.
If someone is willing to complain to them on my behalf and give them my email address (dotan_3219@dotancohen.com), please do!

It appears that if you go to http://www.weightwatchers.com/index.aspx then you avoid the broken browser detection code.
