Hi David,

Thanks for your feedback. In reply:

1) You'll note my use of "my" and "I and "philosophy" (not being snide
here...just making a point). These words were chosen explicitly because
I believe we have the choice of which tools to employ to solve certain
problems. Some people like Flash. I hate it. Some people think Java is
tops. I can't stand it. To each his own. I was expressing my own view on
the topic and why, as a result, I wouldn't be integrating the CSS menu
into theholiergrail (a site I developed and maintain). Additionally,
you'll note that not only did I make no argument /against/ the provision
of such CSS-only solutions, I provided one.

2) I'd be interested to know how these results were gathered and where I
could get a hold of them. I've made this claim for a while now (based on
word-of-mouth) in support of Unobtrusive Javascript and Progressive
Enhancement but have not found a source on the web which provides a
reliable and comprehensive analysis of what users DO and DO NOT
generally have installed and/or enabled on their computers.

Anyway, thanks again for writing and for sharing your points.
--Bill
