Page look

ME TO. Icouldn't give a stuff obout what passes the validator. If your going
to sell a browser to tech ignorant mortals like me ALL I WANT TO SEE IS A
WEB PAGE. Im sick of pull down menu's that dont work....page returned no
data....etc. When you go to the other browsers IE4 or Netscape they work
fine

Just ran a sample of 3 of OPERA's pages through a w3c validator.
Guess what? They ALL FAILED with at least 20 errors; one had over 50
errors.

If OPERA cannot even put up pages on the web which pass a validator,
THEN WHAT IS THE POINT OF COMPLAINING ABOUT OTHER PAGES WHICH DON'T
PASS A VALIDATOR?

I would wager a reasonable amount that there is not 1 page on Opera's
site which will pass a validator cleanly...

.... and all render well in Opera, proving that Opera _is_ fault
tolerant.
