Garth- As a surfer, I can agree with you, I don't like blinking text. As an author, though, I think it is foolish to say that something should not be standardized because someone doesn't like it. One way or another, authors will find ways to get the page to look EXACTLY how they want it to. Animated gifs, Java applets, whatever... As an engineer, you should respect the desire of authors to include as many effects as they wish. But, being an engineer (this I am assuming), you should also realize that in order to acheive the effects authors want without CSS standardization means that your servers will be clogged with bandwidth hogging GIFs, applets, etc. Wouldn't you rather just have authors use bandwidth-friendly CSS? -Joey
