 Well, that banner was done by you, I wouldn't go and tweak your code
*g*  On the other hand, I think I've done it in the new version of my
page....

 Yep, I guess so.  Stylesheet setting such stuff aren't really correctly
used.  That would be, specifying a font for  or 
 tags would be
correct, but using a 
to get a monospaced font is wrong. But hey - we are all just idealists and perfectionists who live in the brave new world[tm] :) >> Rather report that brokenness > > Yeah like Microsoft ever listed to their users .. ha!

Well, it came down to my habits and old stuff - a new version of that page (and the whole site!) is underway and will be released this week^Wmonth^Wyear - I promise.
