It's fine to ask us designers to *support* the site in IE6, but expecting pixel-perfect adjustments for the browser is a waste of time, effort, and money. Right.

At the very *least*, charge extra (and charge fairly!) for IE6 support. Or do one even better and really be part of the solution and just refuse to waste time on it altogether. Eventually the IT departments still keeping IE6 alive will have to face the reality that their old intranet systems are long due for an upgrade, and likely an expensive one, and perhaps learn the hard lesson that choosing to exclusively use a proprietary platform to power core business components can have costly long-term consequences.
