Whoa, David! I don't remember "lashing out" at anyone... you included. I've just simply notice a sometimes subtle, sometimes not, virtual "cane lashing" of anyone who doesn't follow the religious CSS dogma adopted by some or many on this list. For example, personally, at this point, I don't care if anyone ever reads any of my sites on a "text-only" browser. If they want to go that route, no problem here, but they have *no* right to any expectation that anyone should ever code for that decision. Now, again, if there are those who want to accommodate them, fine, but there should be no expectation that they *should*... *BIG* difference. I just make it a point to defend anyone who is being chastised for not adhering to the CSS coding standards that "someone else" adopts. What standards everyone decides to adhere to and how far they want to employ CSS methods in building websites is *totally* a matter of personal choice. If there were a CSS god who dictated with absolute authority what standards and practices should be employed, then I'd submit. But I know of no one who has the authority over me to proscribe what my CSS coding behavior and standards will be in this world Some on this list just a little bit that "Taliban" mentality, and I don't like it, and say so... just to keep things in balance.
