SKIPC,
I'm betting if you feed the URL of the original page
into the WorldWide Web Consortium's HTML Validator,
http://validator.w3.org/
you will get an appreciation of how lousy a developer the webmaster there is:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98
This is the kind of return you SHOULD get from a page check:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/
I suggest you drop a note to webmaster@CrappyWebsite.com
noting his deficiencies and suggesting that he start doing a better job.
Pass on to him a link to the Validator.
