Oh, I knew we were all on the same wavelength on it. I just wanted to share
a link to a group that feels the same in case some people wanted to look
into the "rebellion" more. Sorry if it was misinterpreted.

I guess I didn't make myself clear. I agree *COMPLETELY*. HTML
is
*supposed* to look different in different browsers. The problem is
that so
many people do not understand this. They want HTML to work like PDF
does --
the exact same page everywhere. This leads to the inevitable "Only
works with
Microsoft Navigator 7.36b on Apple Windows VII with a monitor set to
800x600
pixels, 15-bit color, and a reversed aspect ratio. Oh, and you need
JavaScript, VBScript, ECMAScript, PostScript, and a
manuscript-in-a-bottle."
