|I think your decision to avoid CSS like the plague is a wise one. (It's

|CSS and makes pages that use it look not even remotely like the creator
|has intended.)

'---------------------------
The way CSS works is to provide a consistant way to define styles in newer
browsers while retaining backward-compatibility.
Anything that uses CSS should still work ok in Netscape 3, it just won't
look as nice. If there's any site that won't work without CSS, it doesn't
deserve to exist! That's like saying 'I don't want people to use <FONT> tags
because they don't work in Lynx!' - you can't expect technology to stand
still while you refuse to upgrade. Reminds me of all of those Amiga500
luddites that played their part in killing off the Amiga.
And you don't do news://alt.ascii-art, you use news:alt.ascii-art. Any
publication worth it's salt (my reference here is HTML: The Definitive Guide
from O'reilly and associates) will tell you that you only use // for URLs of
services that use directories of some sort, like http, ftp and gopher.
