hi rudy!

don't do it because it's invalid, or because it wrecks havoc with some browser?
(my CSS is @ import, no navigator 4, if that makes a diff)

>list items can contain block items, so just use <p>...</p> inside
><li>...</li>

really... I didn't know that, actually.

>the only time you want them spaced out is when the list items contain so
>much text that the entire list looks like one huge monolithic block, so you

makes sense. yes, I'm having monolithic block issues -- you're
right... those *are* paragraphs!

Whether messing with HTML is simpler or messing with a style is
simpler is debatable in this case.  But the <p> thing makes logical
sense.  And since it is also valid, it is probably the best solution.

Thanks again,
