Thanks for taking the time and effort to write the letter. If thousands of linux users worldwide write to complain about sites like this, many many many of them will get upgraded. So each person that writes these letters, really does contribute in a measurable way to the Free and Open Source Software efforts. Most of those sites that are still IE-specific and not up to today's standards, are so out of touch that they can be fooled simply by using the Firefox plugin. It spoofs the rendering engine and tells their cruddy IIS server that it is IE.

Most of those sites that are still IE-specific and not up to today’s standards, are so out of touch that they can be fooled simply by using the Firefox plugin. It spoofs the rendering engine and tells their cruddy IIS server that it is IE.

If the site doesn't use Activex crap (which I doubt), then that should be enough to fool their validator. You can use a Firefox plugin to fake a browser agent.
