And by the way, my respectful moderators, before you make up your mind that this thread is 'off-topic', I sincerely hope you give a benefit of doubts. CMS by itself may not have anything to do with web standards, but it's all in the hands of the users. A highly web standards conscious user maybe able to turn a CMS software to web standards compliant, however I also strongly believe that a pool of high profile web standards users like this group can help achieve it a lot easier, with a healthy, on-topic discussion. That being said, if my argument cannot convince respectful you, despite many talents and knowledge I see in this list, I will have to admit that this is not the place I want to learn web standards, and have no regret my email address be removed.
