Why is it that this is the ONLY website I know of...
that has a problem with the font size for Mac with NS4? The excuse that you're just conforming with new standards looks like a way to say you just don't want to spend the effort to clean up the code. It's obvious you know nothing about Macs and could care less because YOU use a PC. But there are a lot of Mac users here with NS4 and your policy has a "screw you, I don't want to be bothered" attitude about it. Hey, it's your website, and a good one, but don't expect any good feelings over this move. Again, it's only you who seem to have difficulty in addressing the problem. Somehow everyone else from Yahoo to the lowliest discussion forum seems to be dealing with it. Could it be that it is a little premature to make this transition to new standards and that in a year from now, when more Mac users have migrated to OS10 and have upgraded their systems, you will have more justification for dumping part of your readership. As of now, rightly or wrongly, the fact remains that NS4 is still the best alternative for a web browser for many of us. JMHO.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You understand what standards are, right?
It's a specification. The server side (me) writes to the specification. The client side (MSIE, Netscape, Opera) writes to the specification.
The only way everything works is if both sides follow the specification.
I've done my part here, I suggest you take your complaining to Netscape.
If any thing, you're just reinforcing my point that breaking standards is completely the wrong thing to do because while it may fix things in the short term, they seriously screw up things in the long term.

Since you won't stop making up stuff, you won't receive anymore replies
I don't use Windows, I don't use MSIE. I use Linux and Mozilla (same code base as Netscape 6).
You need a serious lesson in how to effectively argue a position and just making up a war only makes you look dumb, like now.
