That's interesting... no reply. You guys are like a rottweiler with a bone
when you think you're right about something and often turn to pack bullying,
but as soon as you realise you were wrong you just back away quietly without
a word.

People would have so much more respect if you were humble and mature enough
to say, "Apologies, what you said is true". It's good advice, take it or
leave it though.

PS: I will fall off my chair if Beauregard now replies saying, "Sorry I was
wrong, Opera is the only browser that doesn't support the length of your
div - you were right". We are very happy we have such a big div! It means
we don't need to compensate in other areas of life ;)
