No! 'Course I'm not gon' ignore all NS users. I'm just gon' disable compress'n f'r 'm. I nev'r had (& nev'r will have) the intens'n of blocking 'm out. But I explicitly off'r the poss. of print'n out the page, so it must always work. As long as I enable compress'n, NS-us'rs can't print the page. So... no compress'n for 'm. Or someone sh'ld have a bett'r idea. I mean... NS s'nds the head'r tellin' my serv'r that it supp'rts gzip -> my serv'r then s'nds the compress'd page -> then NS rememb'rs it doesn't want to decompr'ss it and prints the compr'ss'd sh!t. And bring'n up the whole HTTP-thin' was a stupid idea from my side. Just forg't to t'st my "theory" prop'rly. Sorry!! So... f'r n'w I'm g'nna disable compr'ssion f'r NS-us'rs, 'till someone has anoth'r solut'n.
