Listen, I don't come to this site for arguments. Or insults. Or to be spoken to as a child that cant read a dictionary or understand various words in the english language. Never once did I insult you, merely pointed out the benefits to using the standards that we have in place.

I do not spout all day long about anything let alone about coding to the latest standards. I merely pointed out the benefits of using the guidelines in place and that people should aim to use them. Never once did I say any one was wrong not to use them. Because, and this is the important point, I do not care what you do. I do not care how you code your site. or anyone else. However, I do
hope that more people code in a more accessible way but at the end of the day, not having access to any particular site would not bother me, as there is nothing on the internet that is important enough to warrant the effort, except for maybe sending/receiving a few emails.
