Bill D - "I see pages which use javascripts (or worse) to pop-up full size images from thumbnails, instead of simple links...but I see no really good reason to do this."

Yes, this is the sort of space wasting thing that annoys me - and these bits are often cleverly inserted by some of those "helpful" programs. The problem is that if you don't know HTML itself, you don't know just how badly your helper application is messing up. Like your quote. But for many people, at least the use of such programs gets them on the web quickly... there is another recent thread about El Greko's page - as I remember he started off in Word, but changed as he quickly became more astute in HTML.

Mary PM'ed me that she had fixed the problem and emailed the suggested fixed page days ago - I was intrigued to find the REAL technical answer - cause I can't let go of a problem that I KNOW I know the answer to, but just can't "get it on the tip of my tongue!" Now I know - like many beginners (I've done it myself!) she was trying to do the impossible in HTML - but not obviously so due to lack of technical knowledge - that's what the specs are for!. :-)

Re your technical experts - "Too many cooks can spoil the broth"

Your sign sounds like some of the Wisdom of Ashleigh Brilliant... :-)
