...ok ok I read the bottom bit of the link too.
Now.
I was just so incensed at the way he just seemed to be implying that almost
all of the websites out there are not coded with care, that I stopped
reading the rest which was a bit naughty.

Ok so he is supporting the correct use of HTML, and I have to agree with
that. Just blame Dreamweaver and Frontpage for adding shite to code that is
not required.

....Listen i am tired its late and I am probably talking twice as much foo
as i thought he was,
I am off before I make a complete and UTTER ass of myself.
Night night.

( I still say he is using a scaremonger soundbite to sell his book)
