He was being sarcastic, that was obvious.

Bland II To: CF-Talk Sent: Sat Sep 30 22:15:40 2006 Subject: Re: CF vs. .NET presentations? Are you seriously stating you called MSFT about IE not rendering something right? That is definitely not a bug. IE has a rendering engine. CSS developers know what it can and can't handle. If you did something it can't handle, tough cookies. Fix your CSS...not IE. lol. Sorry man, that just seemed pretty far-fetched. Now, if you had an issue with a .NET applicaiton or ASP.NET site, you called MSFT, and got the same responses...I would understand. Not trying to flame you or anything. Your email just didn't make much sense, to me at least.
