Another Fedora-supporting web site

[Don]

Hey Steve... I didn't mean to invoke a "flame war".... and I understand your
efforts are on a part time basis... been there, done that, still doing it...
:-)

>From your original note asking for feedback you explicitly said "so there
may be some odd browser
behaviors, particularly for Internet Explorer.", as if that was intentional.
(My bad, that's how I interpreted your comment)

Before I ever ask for public comment on any of my web pages, I run them
through the w3 html/css validator.... my feeling then is at least I know I'm
generating/displaying correct (meets standards) html... that should solve a
lot of "your page doesn't work with my browser"-type complaints.

I wasn't expecting you to fix it in a half hour... I was simply letting you
know the problem still existed (as seen from my POV) since you said your
server had crashed and was now back.... maybe I tried while it was down....

No worries, relax, take a deep breath and have fun.... thanks for putting
this stuff together... but remember, when soliciting comments from the world
you might not always like what you hear back.

Along my travels I've learned not to offer unsolicited "help". :-)

Peace,
Don
