Your browser (which one?) just does a good job of detecting the encoding
used for your page http://www.geocities.com/elevendigitboy/. For instance,
if I view itr with IE after unselecting the Autoselect item of the
View>Encoding menu, I get garbage as expected. Otherwise, IE does recognize
Shift_JIS.
