It's hardly stupid or backwards. It is unfortunate that it has to be
done, it would be fantastic if with one line of CSS you could baseline
every browser (so without that command the browser retains its
'innate' styles), but in the absence of that - resetting CSS is a
worthwhile strategy. Doing so makes development faster, easier and
less headache prone. You also end up with lighter CSS files.

You won't get anywhere with this poster. He just comes on to oppose and
say cryptic things or takes up positions and gives short smart-arsed
replies when it comes down to trying to get down to the details.

Nope, nope, nope and nope. That last claim is total bollocks.

Yes, yes, yes and yes. I have experienced all of these first hand. The
last claim is totally true. There, two can play at that game.

Methinks this dispute is like draw poker where no one, naturally, shows
their full hand. <g>
