Why I hate outlook

In October 1994, Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the Web, founded the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Laboratory for Computer Science [MIT/LCS] in collaboration with CERN, where the Web originated, with support from DARPA and the European Commission. For further information on the joint initiative and the contributions of CERN, INRIA, and MIT, please see the statement on the joint World Wide Web Initiative.

I think the inventor of the world wide web is the best person qualified to set up the regulatory body for the web, don't you?
Actually, XP Loser does not agree with any regulatory body unless they are Microsoft. It is imperative however that all regulatory bodies be independent of their relative markets. This is because it promotes fairness, and does not encourage a monopoly which is always detrimental to the consumer, and hence the industry.
Gooseberry Cock, (hiding behind red ranger software) you state that your html is only tested in IE because you do not care about other browsers. This illuminates your mindset. I will not comment upon you further.
One thing, my html is w3c compliant as far as i know, and it does not have that line in it. You may go to my site (the link's in my signature) and view the source if you like. I confess i have not tested it in Amaya yet, so i may be wrong on this score. However it works fine in multiple versions of five of the most common browsers (including IE, i found out totally by accident...)

No no you've gotten it all wrong; anyone can tell you it's Al Gore who invented the internet, not this imposter.

There you go with that W3C crap again. I don't see why I should have to put <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> at the top of every page just because a bunch of wankers says so. If my site works in IE, I'm happy.

Tell me, why is W3C in any more of a position to dictate standards than Microsoft is? Furthermore, since IE is used by 95% of computer users, why don't other browsers just conform to the standards set by IE, and we would have none of this horse shit?

Thats a ridiculous argument! I suppose you think since most of the Englsh speaking peoples are Americans, we should switch the standards to American words (i.e. colors instead of colours, subway instead of the underground). Also, M$ speaks chinease as a first language we should also all do so. (err, is it Chinease or english, or maybe Spanish?) well whatever it is, the prinicpal is the same. Also, M$ would always have first knowledge of the standards, and that would be bad, because they would come out with the newest releases. I mean lets say IEs developing team spends 6 monts working on a new feature, and then releases the feature and the new ver of the browser to the public. It would take Mozilla 6 months to catch up, and everyone would be sure to use IE. And knowing M$, they would probably start to keep the standards secret so that no one else could pick them up and use them. (I know that seems ludicris, but its M$, they will do anything to dominate the indusrty!)
