Kudos to you as developer/designers we need to stand up to those who make our lives miserable.
A few weeks back I ran across a blog entry from devirtuoso.com (ya got ta love it) Contributing to the Death of IE6 http://snipr.com/oqeis as a result rather than going through the changes of trying to deal with IE6 I have been using it (and to my surprise according to the Google Analytics it is working)I have seen a major reduction in IE6 users on my sites since I started using it (can you say Nice kitty kitty)
By the way just a quick note I have added your RSS feed to my site http://ldfeeds.com my followers and I am looking forward to hearing more from you.

Wonderful. I was lying in bed last night wondering if I really should even worry about trying to get my clients sites to work in IE6. As you say takes up way to much time which could be so better spent elsewhere. So today I have also stopped support of IE6.

You got my support! I got a plan to do that at the end of the year 2009, when Windows 7 will go to RTM state.

You have my support. I wish someone would organize “drop IE6 day”, where in one day all web designers and coders, would put a big “if lt IE 7″ warning and links to modern browser download pages. My stats (for Slovenia) show 25% of users still use IE6, therefore I can’t join you at this time, as some of my customers are large retail online stores

“Sometimes I wonder if IE6 has stuck around because we continue to create sites to be compatible with it?” I think that’s a large part of the issue, and the sooner support is dropped for IE6 the sooner people will upgrade, or seek out an alternative browser all together.
