Well, before you slit your wrists, could you answer a question (which
might make you rethink slitting your wrists)??

Did any of the HTML validators catch the problem??

And furthermore, this is simply another example of technology that
doesn't fail in a logical manner, making it nigh impossible to track
down.  It's not your fault.

Many examples of this exist in this business.  Consider the stupid
error messages programmed into DOS, i.e., "Command or file name not
found"!!  That pathetic piece of shit doesn't even know if it can't
find the program or a frickin' argument' target??  And it doesn't tell
you what the hell it was looking for, or where??
Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
