It isn't me at all, it's the validator

Re the above, the last line still doesn't show.

Now take this
http://www.infotextmanuscripts.org/nigel_grant_page_poem.html

I've tried it with two validators, and both say there is no Doc Type.
That is clearly wrong.

A lot of these so-called errors come from my using <H1> which has been
abandoned in favour of stylesheets.

I have no intention of ever using them, all I want is for my websites
to be viewable a hundred years from now, which they will be because
sites are being archived, and many of them have old code.

No you are clearly wrong. Your file had *no* doctype.

A lot of these so-called errors come from my using<H1> which has been
abandoned in favour of stylesheets.

You also have *no* stylesheet.

I have no intention of ever using them, all I want is for my websites
to be viewable a hundred years from now, which they will be because
sites are being archived, and many of them have old code.

You also have no intention of learning HTML either.

You are clearly wrong. There is no doctype declaration in the above
page. The very least you could have done is check that fact for yourself.

A lot of these so-called errors come from my using <H1> which has been
abandoned in favour of stylesheets.

That is utter nonsense.

I have no intention of ever using them

You're hopeless.

That's cuzzzz
1. You didn't fix the code in the line.
2. You put the wrong doctype for the doc you're coding.
3. The whole doc's code has the pooch screwed.

It would if you'd ever fix the error you were told about. You're missing
a double-quote mark after the: target="_blank

Not a chance. You don't even know what a DOCTYPE is.

If you knew the semantic meaning of headers, you'd change your tune.

I have no intention of ever using them, all I want is for my websites to
be viewable a hundred years from now, which they will be because sites

None of us will care. Nobody will be reading your pages anyway. Not then,
and not now. Who would want to look at such ugly pages?

Not, of course, in the sense of lacking hope.

You've been told before about making up your own doctypes and why it
doesn't work.

"H1" has not been "abandoned in favour of stylesheets".

I have no intention of ever using them, all I want is for my websites to
be viewable a hundred years from now, which they will be because sites

You don't need to use CSS at all. What you *DO* need to do is to use
valid HTML.

You have, thus far, _never_ written valid HTML. I suspect you never will.
This reduces your potential audience. As web browsers become ever more
security sensitive and exploit aware, I expect a point will come that
they simply refuse to try and render documents beyond the first markup
error. You have already seen the consequences of the sheer quantity of
errors in some of your web pages overloading the capacity of some
browsers to model the document structure you present them with.
