I'm still making just as much money as I was before.

Assuming that your work involves displaying pages to average computer users (we like to call consumers) - your are either a hypocrite or a fool. Please don't get offended.
I know it might look like I'm trying to insult you, but I'm not.

I described the part about being a hypocrite in my previous post.

The part about fool.
If you think that internal satisfaction of making a pseudo-religious statement regarding some software is more important than making sure your customers don't get any surprises - that makes you a fool in my book.

You see, if you forget to put ">" after the title element - Firefox (at least 0.8) will display the page just fine, but IE will display a blank page (under certain conditions). And HTML validator is only good for pages that are public and "semi-static" (ie, don't rely on sessions to display ALL of the contents).

So when I have a choice of firing up IE to check things out or logging in (or creating a session) with Firefox, saving the HTML to a file on my disk and then uploading it to the validator - I'll pick the former, and spend the rest of the saved time doing more productive things.
