Scripsit Neredbojias:

> Realistically, css is about as optional as the paint on a car.

Rather, the color(s) of the paint.

> Anybody who turns css off is a nitwit.

So you are saying - though you probably didn't mean to say - that a visually
impaired person who can use web pages only when font size is very large and
text appears in a simple font, black on white, is a nitwit if he uses the
web.

You are also saying that I am a nitwit when I turn CSS off to test how a
page works without it (as required by W3C and other recommendations), or to
be able to read a page at all because it has a mass of broken CSS that does
not work on standards-conforming browsers, or to switch off the 18pt bold
font or 9px font for copy text.

Being an experienced alt.html'er, you will now how have to write down _200_
times "CSS is for optional presentational suggestions, and I will learn
Finnish just to read Yucca's books on web design and on CSS to really
understand this".
