Is that what those idiots at Netscape have done to my beautiful
background colour? Does the default setting take away background colours
set by me? How incredibly irritating and rude. And why does the
background colour work in the table?

I knew that actually (you see I haven't been glazing the WHOLE time) but
found it more aesthetically pleasing to leave out the "http://" part. I
can't imagine that people are just dying to go to my site and if they
are, they can certainly copy and paste.

But just this once, I'll do as you say.

its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
