He's moaning about the indiscriminate use of the <blink> tag. And quite rightly too. Stick it in one of your own personal web pages and watch everyone here eviscerate you for such a heinous crime against humanity. Besides, when the bloody thing blinks off, it's black on black. Totally unreadable. White on red is good for broken symlinks. Blinking white on red is just awful. awful as in voldemort-awful. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
