As to a webmaster knowing a web browser well that's hokum. A lot of webmasters, specially those covered by my previous paragraph, seem to think that either IE is the only web browser or that so long as it looks right in IE it will look right to everyone.

I personally test my work in as many browsers as possible. On my laptop I have IE6, IE7, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Opera 9.25, Safari 3 and K-Meleon 1.3 (I think). I also have a Ubuntu Live CD so I can see what they look like in various Linux browsers and, when I can get hold of him, a friend of mine tests on his Mac.
kjun's post makes a statement that is neither absolute nor categorical.

That such is not the former is clearly evidenced by his use of the phrase "I think."

That it is not the latter is evidenced by the fact that his post was specifically directed to and about me.

Furthermore, you assume that the word "webmaster" referenced myself rather than he himself, even though its placement strongly suggests otherwise. Even were such assumption correct, my inclusion in the class "webmaster" should not be taken to mean that he excludes me from all other classes. As for how he may have concluded that I should be considered a member of said class, and how he knows that I am a member of other pertinent classes, is left as an exercise for yourself.
