If you have a legit reason to visit a Govt site and it does not work because that site is not following accepted standards or its using something proprietary and there is no good reason for that then complain. Just surfing Govt sites and complaining if they dont work is not good Linux Advocacy Just think for a minute - what would happpen if lots of Linux users did that and it became well that we were advocating that. It could be used against us and used to make out that we were a bunch or narks, not to be paid attention to. Just my thoughts.
