Meanwhile in the ‘real’ world, Bob Katter complains that without his name in the Australian Party’s on the ballot papers in Queensland, no-one will know for whom to vote.
On the Dunning-Krugerites: They make sure their boss doesn’t know either! You never want to be their invisible (until some blame needs to spread around) “assistant”.
The fact that this web site still doesn’t support IE is the real proof of the premise.
The majority of IE users either have no choice (use a computer at an IE only site) or no pretensions to IT competence. But Crikey sells a web based product and IE, flawed as it is, is a major browser and should be supported unless potential customers are informed that Crikey has a policy of not doing so.

I used to think Mussolini was a type of pasta, until I discovered Smirnoff.

March 6, 2012 at 5:46 pm@ Stevo – but if they’re still using IE is it likely they will see your proof of the hypothesis?
Oh, hang on…

March 6, 2012 at 5:51 pmI talk to the trees
And they take polling from me
I talk to the stars
And they preselect me !
The place as a whole
Needs smarter peasants than we
Clive talks to us all
In vain
