As others have stated, I think your stats are a little skewed.  I think 
the best recommendation I have seen is to view the logs for the visitors 
to your site.  I am fortunate in that I am replacing an existing site, 
so I can look at the logs and have a pretty good idea of who my audience is.

If you are going to go this route, you might try rephrasing your message 
a little.  Ironically my husband came across this site today.  He sent 
me the link even though he knew nothing about the discussion here.  I 
didn't think he was psychic...

Have a look at the statement under Technical Information at the bottom 
of the page.  Interestingly enough the site does work under IE6, so I 
guess they've decided not to exclude it yet...

By the way, my husband works for a large American bank and they are 
still running Win 2K with IE 6.  He is fortunate enough that he was able 
to install FF.
