HTML Validation

Hello All,  

I was wondering how important validating your HTML code was and for what reasons?  I have used the HTML validators provided the W3C (http://validator.w3.org/) and have managed to fix 100% of the errors on all pages of our website http://www.kepware.com/ .  I like writing code that is free of errors and really appreciate the free validation service that you provide, but was wondering if it was really worth all the work to correct the errors and warnings.  I see that the majority of websites out there do not take the time to do the same.
