Did you tell that to the boys over at Microsoft? Does their browser now, or
will it ever, support XHTML?

*should* != *will be*.

Should in this case is = *will be*.

I am not impressed by the human intelligence, being myself a god.

I've examined that function in 4-5 most popular browsers and concluded
that buttons on the screen will be helpful to some viewers. If they do
no harm I'll keep them. What is obvious to us gods may not be to some
elderly viewers.

You probably did not know that the left thumbs of left handed people are
wider at the base than their right thumbs -- and from the age of three months.

And you certainly do not know the causes and cures of homosexuality.

This book, written in 1978, is still the most comprehensive, scientific
dissertation on those subjects. You might use Amazon's "see inside
the book" to learn that. The "cures" part panics some people and
rightly so. As I explained to one of the world authorities, at the time
the book was written some 70% of psychiatrists would offer to cure
homosexuality. That is no longer the case, but the idea of "cure"
still requires condemnation for the idiots (mostly Republicans).

oh oh, now I've done it !

Thanks for your comments regarding the web page design,

rf: Your help has eliminated my horizontal scroll (the large max-width?) but
I still need margin-left: 222px; to get it off the left edge and into the center.

With the scroll gone, I'm happy. The page is horizontally liquid ( I think is the term).

Thanks for the help,

Mason C
