What you do is not so wrong. Perhaps there are arguments both ways. At the time, I thought the main heading was the title of the article and who it was by. I did not think it was less important than the title. <small> has the semantic hint of "here is something of lesser importance" and I did not see it this way. So I used the largely meaningless span to enable a mere style of smaller font size. -- dorayme

I get the feeling he is not doing his part. That is mostly gibberish. You want either to learn proper English, or to use a language form you are sufficiently capable of. I do have noticed that Miguel ("shapper") is not doing his part, hence my question. He will not be encouraged to do his part in the future if he is continuously pushed away like in your posting. It is therefore inappropriate of you to reply to my question (like that). And would it not be for this pointless discussion started by you, this thread would be much less of a time-waster for me (it were only two simple questions after all). Please stop doing that. And please stop quoting text you are not referring to. That includes signatures, delimited or not. Thank you in advance.
