Hi all, This thread seems to me to be classic "neat vs. scruffy" argument [1]. I used to be a neat, when I was young, foolish and of course selfish. Now that I am old enough to see others' points of view, I have become scruffy. Either that, or I'm just tired of trying to force others to do things my way.
The Web is a scruffy place and that is a feature, not a bug.
