[Histonet] ABC of Safe Practices (Gripe!)

[Philip Oshel]

I have to agree with John here. There is *far* too much glitz and 
glamor on web sites that are supposedly for information. HTML does a 
lot, and what it doesn't do, we don't need. Or want. The extra junk 
just slows down browsers and creates compatibility problems.
Recall the old advertising adage "sell the sizzle, not the steak"? It 
doesn't work here. Give us the steak and hang the sizzle.
