It is not intuitive and one can only guess at the motivation. A
browser maker's pitiless attitude to authors mistakes? Laziness,
it being easier to code for in browser construction?

Your "wrong again" gives you away! You are a secret avid reader
of him.

By the way, he is not boring. He does not make as many mistakes
as the average poster, not even more than the average long term

And one more particularly important thing. He is my enemy and I
