an endless circle of upgrade pages

Today I had the gratifying experience of discovering, in my server logs, someone with Netscape 4 arriving at my page via someone elses upgrade page!!!

Being thoroughly evil, it then occured to me what fun it could be if those of us with upgrade pages a la The Web Standards Project linked to a few other sites using the same tactic. If, by the time our visitor had staggered around a few sites in this bizarre webring, they didn’t upgrade, nothing is gonna make them!

Hmmmm …. or what about a redirect script that gives them just enough time to read my message before bouncing them off to someone else’s site… now that would really be plain evil….
