It's no myth. I see it every day. 

I'm not quoting you theory. I'm not giving you party-line propaganda. This
is my profession--I'm pretty good at it--I am not imagining things.

HTML 4.0 Strict + CSS IS a beautiful thing, I'll agree with that... *until*
you look at it in a 3.0 browser. Or, for that matter, til you want to do so
much as right-align something... that's another post for another list, though.

"After a reading of the Starr report I am impressed by the salacious and
voyeuristic nature of your work.... I congratulate you for having opened 
the doors of libraries and schools to pornographic literature. Those of 
us at Hustler need your assistance in extending the parameters of 
pornography to a wide community of adults. You have opened a new era in 
promoting explicit sexual materials."
    -- Larry Flynt, in a letter to Ken Starr, offering the Independent 
       Counsel a job with Hustler Magazine as 'Pornography Adviser' .
