You are, of course, right. There is, ultimately, no accounting for
taste. However, my tasting of that page left me gagging. It is a total
affront to my senses in all aspects.

No no! I was sober when I viewed the page and it drove me to drink.

In fact, having reviewed the thread (Oh, God! Why do I do this!?) and
the page in question I need to drink again!!!

I will say this in defense (uh, "support"?) of the author. I couldn't
create such a mess if I set out to do it on purpose. The poor man is
lost. I mean, look, I'm not designer. I'll never create anything
noteworthy, design-wise, in a Web page. My goal is, kinda, don't make
anyone throw up.

There ya go! OP might want to consider that.

No... NO! STOP! You should NOT beat your wife. I was only messing about
with words and thoughts in a light hearted mood. Trust me on this one
Ed, do NOT beat your wife.

Consider, the Bible was written by the same people who said the Earth was flat.
