I was quite good at making Möbius strips, my first to show my daughter when she was very little. Later, I made some for more children, one set, in particular, of many entangled into each other to represent in a reverse abstract upside left inside out vertically and horizontally reflected way the Los Angeles freeway road system. Naturally I had to make zroom zroom sounds as I pretended cars and trucks going around. I was reported to the authorities for this, captured and hospitalised. -- dorayme

That merely shows a fault in the originators of HTML, who did not think of occasions where HTML alone would readily produce a suitable layout for non-tabular material. In some cases CSS can remedy the defect relatively easily; but often it cannot. Since they did not produce a <GRID> feature in parallel with the <TABLE> one - with identical features except for using GD GR GBODY etc. instead of TD TR TBODY etc., one must assume that EITHER they intended <TABLE> to be used for layout OR they just were not smart enough to see the need. -- (c) John Stockton, nr London UK. ?@merlyn.demon.co.uk DOS 3.3 6.20 ; WinXP.

Thank you Adrienne, I am having to argue about this in another group at the moment. Recently had the following terrible argument to deal with (one that boji used to try on years back): At the beginning of a sentence in English it is the convention to use a capital letter. I had to point out that a proper name is not any ordinary world. It has a sacredness in its appearance and its sound. These latter are its essence and attempts to impose wooden conventional rule on it are just silly and wrong. Because I hate personal attention of any kind, not having the slightest amount of troll in my nature, let me take an example of another subscriber. His name is sherm-- and now it would be ridiculous to argue that any sentence in which his name ended should not show the --. That would be tantamount to not showing all his name, to changing it and we don't want to do that, do we? -- dorayme

So they probably didn't let you have scissors to cut the strips length-wise, either once or twice?
