Twelve years ago, I was the official (ahem) keeper of the alt.sex FAQ. I found a copy on-line the other day and decided to take a look at it. You know something? For when it was built, circa 1997, it wasn't bad. It wasn't bad at all. Oh, sure, there were font problems and bad anchors and links, and it wasn't at all what we'd expect to see now, but for 1997 it was not only state of the art, it was forward-looking in terms of accessibility.

With one exception. I used tables for layout.

I'm so ashamed.
