Hilarious - I just noticed the same issue, and then found this thread... Opera has been the best for power browsers since before I remember... some people just don't get it!

edit. After additional reading, I see the larger issue... Opera users are more like behind-the-scenes admins - we aren't really in the consumer/end-user category, and for this we just need to deal with some hardships like not being included in browser compatibility lists for all sites... that's a fact I'm OK with now. Cheers!
