Jeez, mea culpa...
Just trying to figger out whether to report a bug at bugs.kde.org... didn't mean for it to turn into a pissing contest...

My final word and I'm done...
If you're going to present yourself as an expert in linux, which I have no doubts that you are -- certainly more versed in it than I'll ever be, then shouldn't your website work with all the browsers available to linux users? And if, by chance, something doesn't get rendered correctly, shouldn't the available validators *like* the code, so it is evident to the viewer/reader, that it's something broken in his/her browser and *not* the page published by the linux expert?

Regards,
Tim

PS Sorry to have "nitpicked"...
