But isn't this person saying that the validating is slack (broken)? Thats the
way I was understanding his message.
I would no classify it as 'slack', however you can get markup that
validates does not unnecessarily mean good design, but markup that
doesn't validate generally means there is an error. When your make
errors in your markup, browsers try it 'interpret' what you really
meant, different browsers will make 'interpretive corrections'
differently so how the page is displayed is unpredictable. Unpredictable
results is considered a 'bad thing' in computing and best avoided.

The proper way to denote your signature in Usenet is to precede it with
very specific characters:
--
the is [hyphen][hyphen][space][carriage return] When done so on properly
configured newsreaders everything follow those characters is identified
as a signature and is removed from the quoted part of the message during
replies.
