If, on the other hand, the ultimate intent is to reduce traffic to your site -- and preventing IE users from accessing would /certainly/ do that in spades -- why not simply take the site down? ;-)
Just so no one gets the wrong impression - this is a personal website that will largely have stuff about my wife and I and is for friends and family. I want to get them to use non-M$ products, and thought this would be a sneaky and effective way to do it. I can just keep sending them emails asking them if they have seen the site yet until they have, and then I know they have at least seen that other things work...
A better alternative might be to include HTML that is standards-compliant but comes out strangely in IE, then add a note explaining why.
Incidentally, MS seems to be supporting the move alternative browsers by putting a bug in IE 6.0 that prevents it viewing some sites (there's a patch, but then how many Windows users know this?).
