You all know that I don't particularly like Opera. I find the product to be lacking polish, over-complicated and without the marketing pizazz that has made Firefox a household name. That's just my personal opinion, and that opinion has garnered many complaints of unjustness. To that end, to present a fairer discussion I would like to put a simple question to the community: "What should Opera do?".

Social commentary aside, my guess is because only China beats the US in number of internet users. And the difference from the US to Japan's (3rd place) head-count isn't exactly subtle.
I think it's all pretty relative. Going by the data on Wikipedia (in Wikipedia we trust?) USA holds 14% of the worlds connected users. So a success in America can still be considered failure if your target is global (market) domination.

I'm sure contacting the site administrators about it is a step in the right direction, but that's contingent on the notion that they'll care about their site working in a browser they more than likely don't officially support. Sure it's great Opera's acid 3 compliant, but how meaningful is that accomplishment if the program fails on things that matter to the user?
