We may not all decide to unsubscribe but I can tell you that for some of us this kind of
stuff really detracts from enjoyment of a list and our motivation to actively
participate.
But I must concede that it's been a lot worse in the past; fortunately some of the
worst offenders have also left the list over the years...

What are remarkable -- and *totally* wrong --
assumption to make.
Works fine on Google Chrome on Mac OS X,
incidentally.
Google Sites are dynamically generated from a
high-level markup the
user enters in a special editor, AIUI. The fact that it is a Google
product, a company that makes its own cross-platform browser and is a
rival of Microsoft, makes the contention that it's a
Microsoft-specific page ludicrous.
I just love this list. Sorry to have troubled you with my "remarkably
and totally wrong assumption" - won't happen again.
