Obviously, condescension and rudeness are strong points of yours.

You should respect the work of others before demanding respect of
anyone or of their html coding choices - and you should respect the
opinions of others.

My comment was, irrespective of the artistic and technical merits and
demerits of fedoraproject.org, that it is a very well designed site
from my perspective *_as_*_a_*_web_*_surfer_* (except, again as I
mentioned earlier, for the fact that it doesn't have a search option).
The underlying html may or may not be in need to be optimized or
cleaned up but the end result is very good.
