Should have been to sleep ages ago, but work work work. Looking forward for some time off during Passover, though, so that'll be nice.
Eating shortbread fingers and drinking tea. Loves me some buttery fingers. These are pretty good, but not homemade Scottish shortbread mnom!
@azlee Web standards is like rounding up a herd of kittens? Brilliant! No wonder I'm all scratched up and hear howls of anguish daily.
@azlee looking at your red meat icon I have to laugh. D'ya know I built Max's first site along with folks at DesertNet in 1996 or so? Funny.
@wendelldotme I'm not speaking to you since you YELLED at Robert. Unles I can pour a pan of green paint over YOUR head. :P
@raynimmo Yes, by all means follow up with me at mollyh@opera.com. We have resources in place for standards outreach and education worldwide
@wnas Hahaha! That should be "If you use !important incorrectly, I will tell your MOTHER" ;)
@raynimmo Used to raise specificity, it IS a hack. Used to balance user/author styles, fine. Used to diagnose, also fine. But regular use no
@radiz He was there for a few weeks, actually, unexpected due to political situation. Let's work on this offline, email me mollyh@opera.com

I realize that we need workarounds at times, I'm not saying we don't. But please step carefully, please!
Learn the cascade: origin, sort order, source order, specificty. !important is for accessibility, not creating more specific rules.

!important exists to balance user and author styles, and using it as a trick just creates a precedence for everything being !important
@wnas no no no! Devs using !important to override an inline style is very bad practice as it creates an imbalance in user styles.
