Ummm, who slapped you on the wrist? Did you tell them that whether or not Opera is a great browser (I don't know, I haven't used it in years) it commands an absolutely insignificant share of the market?

That is not a knock on Opera - it is just a fact. There are probably a lot of things you could do to make your site more effective than spend your time working for less than .1% of the market.

I know everybody here loves Opera. But if a web site is going to work to address shortcomings, I have a hard time imagining ANY shortcoming less significant than compatibility with less than .1% of the browsing public.

Okay, its soon to be the weekend. Flame me. I'll forget about it by Monday :) But don't flame me because you like Opera - flame me because you think that optimizing for Opera will result in significant ROI - and you have statistics to prove it. ROI is all that matters (morals and ethics aside, and i don't think ignoring Opera creates any ethical dilemmas).
