To begin with, as far as i am concerned, M$ Nerd is a POS not worthy
of co-mingling with poop in a septic tank.
M$ Nerd and Insanely F*kedup are *both* sold my Micro$uck, so what
the hell do you expect?
They are so big and care so little about quality or their custoners,
that you will never see any product from them that works properly, much
less "knows" much about any one of their other products.
"Bloated more than 200%" is typical; i have seen worse.
"14,000 errors"? you lucky dog that ther were so few.

You want HTML code that you can modify?
Use a *dumb* test editor!
Or one of the Netscape Composers (or similar); crappy but infinitely
better than Nerd.
