Sorry for the over-defensive tone, Alex: I accept that you have 
performed moderator duties to the letter.

I appreciate the guidance and I won't touch the controversial issues 
here again.

Apologies to 99.9% of the list members who were burdened by yet another 
instance of a thread that enjoys too much heat for something we should 
by definition find to be inappropriate.

At least it wasn't typographic ethics, eh? :)

Regards,
Barney

[css-d] [ADMIN- OFF TOPIC] Re: Blowtorches at the ready...

2006-10-31 Thread Alex Robinson
You're right, of course. But as much as this string isn't about chunks
of code per se I think it's extremely important to discuss these issues
(I believe you do too?) which I have found to be taboo in the community
- but I think this is the place to have it (admin correct me here)... If
not, would you be interested in the debate anyway?


I'm an admin/moderator and I'm correcting you.

The truth is Barney, you are the latest in a long line of people new 
to css-d who thinks they have a novel and earth shattering 
perspective on what is I am afraid rather old and tired Holy War 
territory

http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=PostingGuidelines
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=OffTopic

(both of which pages you should have read before even thinking about 
posting to the list) both mention avoiding Tables v Divs

http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=TablesVsDivs


This list is not for debating. It is for discussing the actual nuts 
and bolts of using CSS.

I'm not saying these issues aren't important and that your opinions 
about them aren't interesting or worthwhile - just that they have no 
place here. If you want to say something more about this please add 
it to the wiki page or, hey, put it your own blog.


My apologies to the list for this thread being allowed to continue as 
long as it has been.

My blowtorch is now ready and primed to fry to a frazzle anyone who 
cares to prolong this torture...

I didn't mean to start a debate *HERE*; my intention was for us all
(or those who cared to) to canter over to that guy's blog
(http://olav.dk/articles/tables.html) and put him straight.
Unfortunately there's no comment thread, but I emailed him.
