With the exception of some of my responses, that was the most usless
response to an OP's question I have ever heard.

Of course it does not validate. It's freaking blogspot.

I am banning you from any more posts for 24 hours.

You heard that? Damn, there must be something wrong with my newsreader!

In case you meant, ".... have ever read.", then:
Perhaps you would like to expand on what you have to say?
Perhaps you mean that Blogsport is the problem? If so, I guess you think
that everyone should be aware of this?
Perhaps you mean that a Blog set with an XHTML 1.0 Strict does not have
to be validated?
Perhaps you think that it's OK for the CSS not to pass validation as
well, which it doesn't?
Share your wisdom! Please!

Shortened down your plea for popularity? Why not use your long form:

I say we ban him from the group for 90 days.
Man the nerve of that guy. To type something that could be
misinterpreted. Damn him!!!!! DAMN HIM TO HELL!!!!!!!!

ERRRRR....oops...I didnt mean to cause a furore. I solved the problem
anyway. There was a tag in the code which I copied from one of
the pages on the site. That seems to have been the problem. Is it the
case that blogspot code is notorious for non-validation? Certainly Ive
played with the template quite a bit so some of those errors may be
down to me...but 456??? That would be a new record even for me.

This is no way to conduct a fight. You two pussycats are banned for 24
hours to give you time to develop some real claws. Look into extra long
finger nails that are worn over natural ones (like false eyelashes). You
might find or adapt (sharpen) suitable ones.

This is the most useless response I've read in the last 55 seconds.

You should do a speed reading course then...

Well, one time I did attend the Evelyn Woods Institute, but they
kicked me out of class for staring at the secretary's legs.

I assume you wish for me to speak more on the subject of speed reading?
Right? Course, you dooooo...

I did a speed reading course once. It was forced on me. Before the
course began I was the slowest by a long way of a big group. But in the
comprehension test, they were, as group, a long way behind me. After
the course, their reading speeds jumped even further ahead as a
percentage of mine but their comprehension grew less as a percentage of
mine. Slowcoach dorayme remembers this with pride.

In one of "Hancock's half hour"s later TV episodes - I know, you have
never seen or heard of it, never mind - he was seen reading a book at
the beginning of an episode - it might have been Bertrand Russell's
History of Western Philosophy. After the clock's hour hand had spun a
few times to indicate the passage of time, the camera panned back to how
Tony was doing... he was still on the first page or two!

Sure. Regarding the speed vs.comprehension ratio, one has "to give" when
you change the other. Not everyone's ratio is the same, of course, but
they will all change nonetheless.

I did about 6-8 actual hours of speed-reading instruction once for a
special thing. I think you can improve the overall _product_ of speed-
times-comprehension if, uh, you're willing to keep your eyes front.

If he was reading what you said, he probably fell asleep.

Your site says:

"This site no longer supports versions 6 and lower of the Internet
Explorer browser... If you are reading this message, I earnestly suggest
you upgrade to ie7."

.... when I look at it with Opera 9.27 (Linux).

I wanted to see the nude.

Your browser is identifying itself as IE (as well as Opera), a configurable
setting. However, I made a change and it should work now as-is.

I always suspected speed-reading consisted of basically only reading
half of it.

The corollary is that only half of it is worth reading. For many texts
you're lucky if as much as a half is worth reading, hence the utility of
speed-reading.

The trick is finding which bits are worth reading for which the most
important thing is finely-tuned bogosity detectors.

Much truth in this. When one reads for oneself, one knows to some extent
what to look for. When reading to be tested by examiners in the course I
was in, I had no idea what they would have thought important (and
neither did anyone else as can be seen by above tale).
