Therefore your implication that nothing can be added to bare words to
create meaning is simply ridiculous
I never said that Mike check the posts or get it right when you say
someone is being ridiculous. What are you talking about? I don't even
understand the implication, it is ridiculous and I never said that at
all so don't misquote me and try to imply that several others have
tried to tell me something, I can see who is being ridiculous.

Tim,
As several other people have tried to explain, an HR is always used,
in printed media, as a separator or divider of some sort. It may be
abused for visual effect on the web, but in print it always has a
semantic meaning, even if it can be a little subtle and hard to
define. Nobody appear to be arguing that an HR should appear in every
document, but where it is used in the same manner as it is used in
print, it cannot adequately be simulated by CSS, and should not be
either or the semantic meaning would be lost to text-only browsers,
etc.
I agree that words are important on the web, but they are not
everything, and should not be. I am sure you are aware of Google's
attempts to improve its image categorisation for example, and Video
has ever-increasing importance. Therefore your implication that
nothing can be added to bare words to create meaning is simply
ridiculous.
Regards,
Mike

you cannot stuff keywords into a HR tag?
That is not the real concern from my perspective, it is simply a fact
that it adds nothing other than a visual effect that can be achieved
by other means in CSS. Words are everything on the web, without them
we have no content and no meaning, and certainly things are being
debased by people who keyword stuff - one of Barney's original points
(display:none) .
