Professionals? Or people who don't know how to install a proper browser?
By all means, allow me to clarify. Most professional Web designers and
developers would strongly disagree that you can abandon consideration
for IE6, for the simple reason that so many people "don't know how to
install a proper browser". ;-)

There is a misunderstanding from the start. Alexander is thinking about
the OP and the OP (and everyone else except Alexander) is thinking about
the OP's customers. Once you make this distinction, the problem
disappears like when an apple is touched by a magic wand replaced by a
cloud of silver hollywood stars.

You do appear, however, to have this bloody annoying habbit of top posting.
Do it again and I for one will ignore you henceforth.

Code for people not browsers!

I don't know what you do for a living but I code for money. If that means I
have to add the odd hack or two to make IE works for my *customers*
visitors who use iE6 then so be it.

I hope you add a disclaimer to any work you do that you intentionally
ignore x% of viewers.
