Slashdot has noticed Jeffrey Zeldman's article I linked a few days ago.
Cue the spew of ill-informed wibbling as slashdotters whine about how modern web browsers trash their slapdash tag soup... uh, I mean, carefully-constructed web pages, thereby proving his point. Or ranting about how CSS is all a conspiracy imposed by the secret cabal known as the W3C (who are obviously stuck in their ivory towers and out of touch with the real world of web authoring), and we should stick to using deeply-nested tables and font tags, just like any right-thinking web author, thereby proving that they don't know a good thing when they see it.
The complete technophobes, I can understand, since they have to rely on their tools, but it never ceases to amaze me how long it takes some of these "techies" to suss out what's going on, even as the clued-up people explain it to them one syllable at a time.
