In the spirit of I can best or worse that - at least you didn't write a book called "Designing with Style Sheets, Tables and Frames". I wrote two of Laura Lemay series books. We befriended each other years later. My second book. Awfully my fault. Hilarious in retrospect.

Well, in 1996 David Siegel's "Creating Killer Web Sites" was what the most influential design book for Web. He at the time promoted PDFs, along with tables for layout which he's credited for erroneously. The awesome Dave Ragget @w3c did in fact propose tables for layout in HTML.

What year did that become a reality for you may I ask? #Curious P.S. Fly that creative freak flag and never stop FTW!
I remember being so excited they were available and I could allow my creative freak flag fly. Suddenly all my online documents could (almost) look like their MS Word versions.

The separation of document and style had a working corrolarry at the time: Desktop Publishing. Master style sheets anyone? #CSS Another irony is 1994 is not just the idea of style sheets but the year the W3C was formed! The CSS-WG? 1996. First major implementation? IE3.

Error correction: Date of quote was 1994. #CSS in terms of a separation of style actually emerged out of Tim Berners-Lee's NeXT browser/editor. He included but did not publish a simple style sheet (First USER style FTW! hehe). H氓kon Wium Lie who, while at CERN realized the need.

"It has been a constant source of delight for me...to tell...people who want to control what their documents look like in ways that would be trivial in TeX, Microsoft Word, and every other common text processing environment: "Sorry, you're screwed."

A fine interim method that came about because of no coordinated implementation of "recs n specs" or consistent education and outreach. The sad need to "own" what was given freely turned into a commodity, not a global, interoperable, declarative, informative, access-to-all system.

NO. Because you do not recognize my ethnicity, belief system or individuality much less have the capacity to recognize how hacking has fucked up our entire world. So no. No. No.
SPEAK? Howl, yell, blame others ad infinitum. You are being very British about it. I'm not. He voted himself off the human island long ago. Not that he ever knew how to be one.

I'd prefer a JavaScript Naked Day at this point.
It鈥檚 been a few years since it was A Thing, true, but the most recent CSS Naked Day was held on the ninth of April. Anyone else interested in reviving the practice this Thursday? It鈥檒l speed up your site! Temporarily. css-naked-day.github.io/

At the beginning of his reign of terror you might remember him signing a lot of documents showing all the things he was taking action on. I've often wondered if this was one of those documents. WHICH I DENIED.
Theory: he/staff/whomever did it to have him seem as working at all.

Hahaha! That could well be. I know handwriting experts have made some fairly scary commentary about that signature.
Maybe it's a Harvard thing? 馃槀馃ぃ馃槇馃懣
