Broken web site! Fallback to "poor" content should always result when "rich"
content is somehow blocked. I think it stinks for any non-financial web site to
demand what software you use to access its site.
SeaMonkey users are among those subjected to this rudeness by
discussion.fedoraproject.org, but they need only toggle off "use style" to enjoy
the full page text unencumbered by text that isn't a perfect match to one's
browser default size and family. Other browsers most likely have a similar
toggle
available.
