I will look at your suggestion tomorrow, thanks. I better shut up
till then...

Perhaps I can just say this (if only because Boji is starting
cast aspersions on Martian intelligence):

Was it a total illusion of mine about last-child?
I used FF (The web developer tools are a new toy for me, live
changes to css or html tweaking!) When my

#navStrip li:last-child {
border: none;
padding-left: 0;
}

was in the css, the last border of the row had no right visible
margin bar. When I removed it, the bar appeared. I kid you not,
it seemed to me to be doing what I wanted. So what is going on? A
FF bug?
