Even if you don't go to those lengths of debugging the site's code,
people can still make a difference by complaining/informing a
webmaster that they're site does not work on thier system. I run two
sites that generate the money to support my family, that I coded
myself. If someone complained that they couldn't see my site, I'd sure
as hell work as hard as I could to ensure that it's viewable by all.
That's my bread.
