John, no one has accused *you* of sending bears to kill the kids who
teased Elijah. But if you, John, identify so closely with the object of
the accusation then you (John) have far more serious problems than I'd
imagined.

Seek counseling. There are clergy in mainstream churches who are
trained at least well enough to refer you to proper sources if you don't
wish to follow purely secular leads.

Or were you just joking?

Is that right? Well, then, let me accuse him. I, dorayme, look
you directly in the eye, John, and with an unblinking stare,
accuse you explicitly and forthrightly of sending bears to kill
the kids who teased Elijah.

And now for a lighter moment:

I thought we were talking about bare HMTL code, not a coded bear.

No, this is not right. Quirks mode is triggered by the presence
or absence of doctypes, and in some cases whether there is a
prolog to the doctype...

Altogether different is error handling. When something occurs in
a strict doctyped web page that has some CSS that is not
udestood, it is usually simply ignored. There are other errors in
the HTML that are compensated for in different browsers in
various ways, but these ways are not by "going into quirks mode"
