I'm unhappy to read this.

Locking out people based on their browsers is something I was
previously only used to see happening in Redmond.

Free software websites usually preferred the guidelines:
 "best viewed with your eyes" or "designed for any browser"

Especially, as it is very easy to fix.  I took some time to 
analyse the problem and included my diagnostics in my report.
This is what I'm referring to:

Although I considered my report was concise enough, there are now two 
screenshots at:  <http://www.logic.at/people/avl/tmp/>
which show a little cosmetical problem (top.jpg 30k) (for completeness
sake - doesn't really hurt me) and the originally posted problem 
with scrolling down (bot.jpg 50k) of the Faq-page. 

What does this height-attribute gain on other browsers, btw?
