I use President's Choice and (the last time that I checked) their website 
forces me to pretend that I was using IE.  This is really irritating.

Rather than trying another email exchange with them I think it would be a good 
idea to resurrect a list/site such as Evan put together.  Perhaps expand it 
to allow much more detail.

I'm not sure that Evan has the time (Evan?) but I'd be willing to put some 
time into it.  banksthatsuck.ca is available :-)

Have you found any reason for their browser check, use of activex would 
eliminate Linux as a viable platformfor example.

A belated happy earth day to you too, I look forward to the trees that I 
planted being 30 metres tall.
