Well, well! I don't suppose you would care to give me a URL to
this; to save a lazy martian trouble? I like any arguments that
go, "such and such, commonly thought to exist, do not in fact"

I have a simple unsophisticated everyman idea of a footer. I have
footers to make everyone think I am a regular earthling. And I
know that there is a tricky issue, a sort of holy grail of making
these - at least for sighted folk with screens - truly sit on the
bottom of the window without bad consequences etc. But the idea
that they don't exist is almost mouth watering. I will leave it
for now like a chocolate, to be savoured lately. So old
Spartanicus (God) is denying the existence of some things eh? How
about that?
