I'm just not a fan of letting the tail wag the dog. It gets to a point where the extra hassle just isn't worth it.

My theory is if you're not willing to update a free browser, I'm guessing you're not about to go into your wallet for anything I'm promoting. If nothing else, it probably cuts down on freeloader traffic. Well .. it's a theory anyway ...
Any by the same token bona fide paying customers will say, "If this guy isn't willing to make the effort to make his site work on the browser I use, I'll spend my money elsewhere".

Why make people work even harder to pay you for your sites when you can spend a little extra time and make it easier for them?
