More than a decade later, and in a different group, Sandman is STILL lying about his CSS: On 2/7/17, 11:27 PM, in article sandman-f6d45685d946ef1ca402b3326854b9aa@individual.net, "Sandman" <mr@sandman.net>wrote:

And, lo and behold - it validates perfectly, thus 100% exposing your lie.

I noted was every one of your home pages had CSS that was not valid. You moved goal posts to say that every single CSS file itself had errors. This is a direct lie from you. This PDF gives direct links to the validation of every page: <http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/sandman/sandman-css-detail.pdf> You looked at the date shown on page 1. I show the errors you had, but if you do not trust my PDF, click the very top (black) link. <https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://web.archive.org/we b/20060519191417/http://www.sandman.net/&warning=0&profile=css21&usermedium= all> And, of course, it shows errors in these CSS files: http://web.archive.org/web/20060509220758cs_/http://www.sandman.net/atlas/in clude/styles_plain.php http://web.archive.org/web/20060519191417/http://www.sandman.net/ Once again, Sandman, your lies are trivial to show. I pointed out your CSS had errors.

Big deal... lots of sites have CSS errors (and worse). Generally speaking, CSS errors are really only problematic when they screw up the layout, look (i.e. animation). Of the pages I ever saw you point to on his site, I never saw a layout munged by CSS. Here is his current home page on a modern monitor (note that his site is responsive):

Here's yours:

Now who ya gonna call?!

In the "or worse" (which actually calls for CSS) category:

On a simple page like that... and by the 'pros', even!
