Thanks for indulging my curiosity. An intentional booby-trap would have been more amusing; "indifference" essentially _is_ carelessness, which is boring. Now, while I'm sure you're right in surmising that, this being a Mac site, your readers will be Mac users and hence will have Safari, what you're perhaps missing is that they won't always be sitting at their own machines. But, of course, making sure the site renders as intended for one's readers whatever browsing environment they might happen to be using is merely a matter of _courtesy_ and in no way an _obligation_ on you. In any event, a slight problem with the tagline is neither here nor there. So long as the HTML and CSS for the site validate to W3C standards - I didn't check ("indifference" on my part) - no one can have a valid complaint. And even if they don't, no one can - specially since this is a personal site. Well, Macalope, Macalope, Macalope, Macalope – not sure what that affectation is about, but when in Rome …

You've been clean? Is that why you refer to yourself in the third person, and as some sort of hybrid African animal at that? ;) Where's the optimism? As a journalist (or Macalope) you should be able to appreciate the intentions of my post...thanks for the hits. Really? You’ve been clean?
