I get the joke, but for those who don't, or aren't peeking at the source code, you took Ashley's table design and plugged in different color values. Nice ones, but still, that goes well beyond the vagaries of small browser or screen differences and into the realm of active collaboration. Any individual artistic expression can be easily copied and tweaked on the internet. What the artist "owns" is a sensibility and commitment over time to a particular project. My gripe about specifying the best browser to view work on pertains more to unnecessarily limiting one's potential audience (and flattering Bill Gates) than the advisability/inadvisibility of trying to control art in a fluid arena.
