so thank you (and all others who thinks like you) for having browsers
which perfectly W3C-compatible, for having servers which perfectly
RFC-compatible, for having jabber-servers which perfectly
XMPP-compatible and so on. i hope you really like to remeber each

will be so boring if everyone will respect standards...
