I think the first time I saw someone post (not to me, thankfully) "Please
don't give advice on this anymore" I admit I was a little shocked. But
Andrew puts it so well - it's the rigor which makes this a useful group.

Put up (a URL) or shut up!

Thanks Matthias. I'm thinking I don't need to go elsewhere, except for google if
I can get my sys-admin to let me at it.

I'm surprised people are still talking about why CSS is better than tables.

I have been biding my time, read just about every post so far in this
thread and my personal experience of your appearance is...

You jumped in here thinking that ciwas is a "help desk" (I'm referring
to your very first post of June 16).

You did not follow standard usenet procedures to "lurk for some time
before you make your first post", following that you missed the
"atmosphere " of this NG.

You have been properly bashed from that, but also got some good input
from more "gentle" frequent characters in this NG.

Still; your input, as quoted above, is an insult to this NG.

You will find that out for your self if you decide to stay. You are
welcome here but "tune down your pipe" a bit, and you will find that the
most "advanced" tricks of CSS are in fact to be found among discussions
that goes on here.

Drives me batty. Though sometimes some good insight can be found through
the cycling of that running bit.

My first post was actually on the 15th of April, and was replied to by several
people.

I don't see how you can know if I lurked or not, except for the tone of my
subject which came across as insulting. I've been reading this group since March.

I just posted in the way I usually do to the other 10 groups I'm in, some which
get 1000s of posts a day, and others much less. If you don't know the answer to
something, and can't find the answer in old posts or references, you've got to
ask the question.

Like I said in another post, I sincerely apologise for any insult to the members
of this group.

So you're saying I've got to read every post, even if the subject sounds nothing
like what I'm trying to find out about, just in case someone mentions something
I need to know, instead of posting a question? Sorry if I've misinterpreted you.

As have I.

So ignore it, and don't be so damned precious.

No-one needs your (or the usual suspects') welcome to read or post to
any newsgroup they choose. I'm surprized to see you involve yourself
in this silly thread, Roland. I thought you were better than that.

There's a big section in each and every human mind that is dedicated
to the storage of "useless knowledge". Available content in that
storage area helps the normal associative problem solving process in
more "important" areas.

So, in practice, if you need to solve a specific style sheet problem
you will find that easier to do if your personal "database" has some
content in it, even if that content does not directly relate to your
problem.
