This statement indicates a lack of understanding of the basic premise of
HTML.
It also speaks of a lack of knowledge of stylesheets, more specifically
relative measurement.

"Marketing" means take a good idea and throw it out the window?
Ah, wait, I understand. If you throw it out the window, it might hit
somebody in the head; then they'll have heard about it. Marketing, very
