Some time back I had occaision to research this very topic and I believe the
technical term is "dipwads".
Frankly, when something won't display in either Opera or Mozilla, I figure the
website itself is broken and just keep moving. The only way that childish
stunt could convince anyone that Opera was 'broked' would be if someone only
surfed to MSN. Okay, so Steve and Bill thought it was cool. When every other
site works fine and MSN doesn't, the fault lays with MSN. Period.
