Yeah, right.

First of all, this proves Ryan Grant's solution is correct how? Because
it works for you? Apparently it didn't work for "rf", the first poster
in the blurb.

Second, did you even try the "advanced fix" instead of the "simple fix"?
The former, all of about 6 lines, is valid as opposed to the latter.

The advanced fix is not compatible with our code. The simple fix is.
Didn't the poster above say "KISS"? Keep it simple, stupid. It works, so
why make it compex and break our code? That is not logical.

You've solved zilch. You only buried the problem and obfuscated the
issue. Ergo, considering the obtuseness of your obstinacy, we are going
off to tell Brit jokes for our mutual amusement.

Racist and angry. Good luck to you.

of the world,

No, it does not. 1.21 minutes for me.

Bordering on arrogance, in fact.

Oh, like a Google grouper?

Shark. Eat a few at a time. Hee hee.

Um, I see your point

Now long is that in shark years?


Once you're achieved perfection there is no evolutionary pressure in
the scheme of natural selection to send the species off in new
directions.

Yes, sharks are called "the perfect eating machine". But what else do
they do that's interesting? I would hardly say that spending a life just
swimming and eating equates to having achieved perfection on any
reasonable scale in the universe as a whole.

Humans evolved faster because they had more to imrove on and less time
to do it. Eventually, they may reach the evolutionary perfection that
sharks have. Well, probably not -- sharks have avoided the unwanted
capability to blow themselves up in massive quantities.

Humans had more to improve on because they had more potential to begin
with. The conclusion is unavoidable: sharks are an evolutionary cul-de-
sac who persist only because of the vastness of their preferred
environment. Such a predator dwelling on land would surely have been
eliminated long ago by the stupidest humans you can imagine (barring your
reflections on some of the posters here).

One of the essences of sharkness is the beauty of sleekness and
balance.

Simple symmetry and simple mentality. Whoopee twang.

Funny how you, an earthling, so little understand human
psychology, pride, investment and the general notion of theory
building. No one reasonably competent, if handed the job of
fulfilling some of the basic aims of the OP would start with what
he has.

So far we agree. But there are 3 of them. Are they all incompetent?

Nearly every site that comes up here would be built from
the ground up by a well versed author. That does not mean that
that is what you can expect - or demand stridently - of an
innocent wanderer into these alleys. It does not mean you should
be mugging them if they don't throw out the lot and start again.

So you equate "mugging" with expressing an honest opinion. Would it be
preferable if I lied, even a little bit, just to keep junior from whining
for mommy? I may have been blunt and forthright, but I wasn't abusive
and didn't resort to name-calling like some people we know...

If he says the site has been working successfully for over a
year, then sure, you can challenge that, and if you succeed to
sow doubts, that will start to move him. But charging at him like
a bull is not going to work. It never really does. You are too
star struck by the "bitter salt" theory of being honest with a
student or client. Honesty and straight talking is a simple
minded single string bow in the educational game. It is no magic
bullet. Stop getting all thingy when these bullets you fire
bounce off.

Well, I just might try to "stop getting all thingy" if I knew what
"thingy" was. Nevertheless, if an ingenue cannot tolerate honesty, I can
hardly feel sorry for him.

It is simply wrong that a site cannot be rebuilt over time in a
considerably inefficient manner. And you will never see that this
inefficiency has some great advantages for those people who would
learn things slowly over a period of time in a project that is
already sailing at sea. You are demanding the ship be sunk or be
dry docked and completely rebuilt, and few merchant ship owners
will come at that.

The site should be rebuilt, yes, but I wasn't demanding it. What I was
"demanding" was valid code in the form of not putting something outside
the body tag. _That_ was the "demand", so to speak, and I remain
righteously adamant in reiterating it.

As a side note, I think you were more fun when you were dingbatty. Now
your posts make me yawn alot and daydream about the sweet potato farm in
Kuala Lumpur.

Actually, Saxon Brits are immigrated German stock. Norman Brits derived

I love this "but" of yours. It is the sign of a masterstroke of
reasoning. If a team does something, it does not mean that they
are all responsible for the overall faults of a page. Yawn and
daydream about that - see your impudent remarks below (Officer
White has been despatched with fresh orders. There may be a
slight delay, he has a bad hangover after a Don's party for the
recent oz federal election. He is never in a good mood after
hangovers, do not provoke him. It will be bad enough for you even
if you are nice and offer him a cool iced-lemon drink).

So you equate "mugging" with expressing an honest opinion.

I can always count on you understanding the least thing.

Look, many very fair points have been made (most recently Sherm
Pendley and rf) that should alert OP of things to think seriously
about. There is nothing wrong with raising honest issues.
