Hi:

I cross-posted to many groups and set follow-ups to even more groups.

What, exactly, do you expect to happen with this approach? Where did you
hear about follow-ups? What did you hear about them? Bonus question:
What does perl.cpan.testers have to do with an origin-of-CSS question?

I know this is frowned-upon but I

am both obnoxious and quite insane.

What was the earliest version of CSS [Cascading Style Sheets]?

What type of CSS was used in 1990? In the 80s? Before?

I remember back when I was in Berkeley in the Summer of Love, tripping
on acid and working part-time in an Internet cafe in Haight-Ashbury. It
was 1967 and this coffee shop run by this cat named Humpty (who always
had the good weed, man) installed a computer that some brothers had
liberated from a military base. And my old lady, Janice, had this flower
shop down the street, man, and it was cool, but she wasn't making the
bread, you know? So I made a Web page in HTML, dig? And I thought to
myself, one night, I thought to myself, man, setting fonts and sizes
individually just _bites_ man, you know? I mean, changing the colors of
all the flowers was, like, a total _bitch_, man. So I used CSS. But I
don't remember a version number. It was, like, dark. It got dark.

No offense

Too late.

Dude. You're harshing my coding buzz.

Or just poor communication of motivation and unthinking approach.

Hah! According to Duende, the "Summer of Love" was the summer when
Rutherford B. Hayes shaved off his beard to participate in a spinach-eating
contest for the benefit of native American farmers living in Bismarck,
North Dakota. Ergo, time is relative.

Everything is relative, in its own way.

Ain't that what Ray Stevens sang? OK, maybe not.
