[Sigia-l] "Who Really Turns Off JavaScript?"

I'm appalled at the sheer absurdity of this "logic". I'm beginning to wonder
about your comprehension of how JavaScript is used in modern web apps,
especially those using Ajax.

> Using JavaScript for front end validation duplicates the back-end

I HAVE NO IDEA. Stop putting up straw man arguments. I have said absolutely
NOTHING about validation. Nada. Zip. If you think JavaScript is the same as
form validation, you're in sad shape.

> It is not a straw man argument.  The browser industry is becoming more and

This has not much to do with this current thread but, actually, the reality
is that browsers have never been more "compatible," without which the latest
explosion of Ajax apps would not have happened.
