well.  i'm sorry.  that's all i can say really.  but i think that it's 
generally known that even "standards" get fudged.  esp. when they get 
into MS's hands.  Things that *should* display correctly, and work 
correctly in mozilla, don't always behave the same way in IE.  i'm no 
full time programmer, but my experience with web based programming has 
proven this, but i have been wrong before.

but, i didn't mean to offend you so badly and i hope that we can still 
be friends :-)
