not quite right.  every site that the user pays for as a service should
provide a usable interface or be willing to give a refund.  browsers are
free. you can download a more up to date one from www.mozilla.org. 'jeery c'
was more than gracious with his time.  if a user is unwilling to enable
javascript, that user does not *deserve* a javascript free version.  if a
non-javascript user wants to create a competing version, they are free to do
so, but it seems unfair to demand it of others.

you may do it all the time, but as a professional, you are paid to make your
interface usable to a particular client.  jerry c seems to have invested a
huge amount of time, and he made a nice index.  feel free to improve it
yourself, or to ask him nicely, but suggesting that he *should* have done
anything seems wrong.
