Theory came later. you probably should pay more attentions to standards - if you are interested in free software. because free software browsers denpends on standards heavily. making sites non compliant to standards can make them inaccessible to people using free software (an other non free software too). however i do not know if your site is this case. i didnt check it enough. however Jonathans comment about your site was very polite and friendly and i do not get why you are so angry about it. you have the right to do your site in whatever way you choose, its visitors have the right to comment about it. and to cite from your own site: "Please feel free to get in contact with me should you have any comments or issues which you would like to discuss." > arrived was attack - particularly from a lurker on this list who decided > to pick on someone privately about an entirely irrelevant matter. he didnt attack you at all > I'd suggest, very strongly, as this has happened to me before in the > GNU/Linux community, that this happened because I used my real, female, > name.
