Element "P" IS open!

[Barry]

Hi group,

Does anyone know why I get a W3 validator error (click the validation
link at the bottom of the page) for
http://www.polisource.com/consumer-protection.shtml saying "Line 227,
column 3: end tag for element "P" which is not open." It looks open to
me, right before the table tag. Maybe that's why the validator is still
in beta, but I thought I'd ask.

I guess it could be a propagation issue, but I've posted to fairly busy
newsgroups before and never saw this level of repetition. I also have
experience on a message board in which people could vote on posts and
your rank and privileges depend on your votes, which brings out
annoying habits in some people.

Statistics for this group are at
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...ing.html/about
(I'm accessing this through Google Groups, which is more reliable than
Verizon, but I might use Verizon in the future).

I do appreciate the effort of those who aren't purposely being
repetitive.

What's rdidiculous? Please quote part of the message you're replying

(1) A sign of a broken spelling-checker?

(2) He's posting via Google. If you want to be helpful, ISTM that you
need to explain not only what to do but also how to do it :

Some participants here like to take an issue and beat it to death with a
stick. I think they use the propagation mechanics as an excuse to show
everyone that they knew the answers as well. The very same posters will
snip quotes out of context and call you names. Also they will attack you
if you help someone because they are convinced they have a better
answer, but will not in turn give that answer away before they have
tried to humiliate the person seeking answers for being ignorant.
Sometimes I think these trolls actually live inside the servers and are
put on this earth to annoy and to procrastinate communication in service
of satan ... oops I am getting out of line here ... ahem ...

Anyway, watch who will flame me for this post.

However there are a few who are really helpful and I appreciate that a
lot :)

You said you have posted to other groups. Can you recommend some that
share the topics with these?

Thanks, I was wondering how to create those colored quotes, but I switched
to Outlook Express so it won't matter until I switch from Verizon to Optimum
Online, when I expect to not know how to do things for a while.

Um... this is getting ridiculous. I don't think I'll be posting here
again.

Don't give up just yet, some of us enjoy answering questions and helping
others ;-)
Good Luck,
