While I agree that it unnecessarily belittles any specific IE6 user that visits the site, I don't think his message itself is unnecessary. We need the whole range of messages before IT departments get a clue. We need the very small, one time top banners with a small message, we need the sites that just plain break horribly, we need the sites that have a polite nagging message on every page and we need the sites that are just plain rude. Until we have them all, until it's clear that every type of web site is sick of IE6, until these messages are very common, the inertia will not be overcome.
