The Macs that ship to Oz have their gas removed by your government
censors, no?

.... and in a very psychotic way: My stuff has errors, therefor there's
something wrong with the error-checking mechanism.

He should apply his logic to his "religion."

Neither of those products generated "mso-font-charset" or
"mso-generic-font-family" in which the “mso” stands for
MicroSoft Office, a suite of products fairly well-suited
for their advertised purpose, but also capable of producing
the worst HTML and CSS known to mankind.

What you have been told applies to EVERY last web page. The closer code
is to being 100% valid, the more it will display as close to identical
as possible in different browsers.

How do you think *I* got these skills?

Yes, actually, it does. If I continue to behave in an inappropriate
manner despite being told that's what I'm doing, I think it's perfectly
understandable that people would lose they're tempers with me and I'd
deserve the responses I got. I accept that actions, my own included,
have consequences.

No THAT is not what I said in my previous post. John initially received
polite, helpful responses to his posts, and Jolly Roger, the person to
whom you responded, was among the people trying to help John. The level
of annoyance expressed in his, and most everyone else's, responses to
John gradually increased over time. Bear in mind that John has been
doing this for weeks, if not months, and it's only part of what he's
been doing, which also includes telling us he's too busy to look up
things he could easily answer himself, such as prices for software.
