Webmaster discussion pages led me
to ask the questions.
Folks just don't want to hear that their code and practices just might be the
answer to why their sites aren't getting crawled.
I've copied the responses, although I doubt that they will listen.
Thanks Sharron
I do my best to adhere to standards simply because I can.

The point is there are validation tools, information and help available for
free everywhere. It doesn't mean one has to spend money to validate their
pages. If one takes the time to build a site for themselves using whatever
method, well then why not take a bit more time and use valid code?

I also hope my typos and mistakes in the text of my posts are not too darn
awful. I don't even see them until I read them back after posting.
