In that case I can agree with you on, "Among people linking to Browse Happy, perhaps, but as for the site itself, I don’t think I’ve noticed any changes since last August." I guess I was just going off of the overall air and feel of Browse Happy across the web when I wrote this. Good point, Kelson.

I'm disagreeing with the "ever-increasing" part. I haven't noticed any substantial changes to Browse Happy over the last 10 months, so I don't see how the site is any more anti-IE today than it was back then. Now that I think about it, it's really just a nitpick, but for some reason it jumped out at me when I read your post. I hadn't realized Matt was a WaSP member. (Or if I had, I'd forgotten.) That makes the transfer a lot less random! I’m not disagreeing with the “anti-IE” part. I’m disagreeing with the “ever-increasing” part.

Why not switch to a browser that's more secure?", to be "anti-IE" in nature. Matt Mullenweg, WordPress' lead developer, is a WaSP group member and writes for the Buzz Blog. I would assume that WaSP offered Browse Happy to their group members first, and Matt expressed interest in it. I consider Browse Happy’s tagline, “Internet Explorer can make your computer unsafe.

Among people <em>linking</em> to Browse Happy, perhaps, but as for the site itself, I don't think I've noticed any changes since last August. Still, an understandable decision from the WaSP folks. I'm just trying to figure out how WordPress ended up with it! “Ever-increasing anti-IE attitude?” Among people linking to Browse Happy, perhaps, but as for the site itself, I don’t think I’ve noticed any changes since last August.
