Actually I'm not against CSS constructs. I'll use them when they're convenient. The problem is that saying this to CSS zealots is like saying to the ancient Hebrews that one will worship Yahweh along with all the other gods.

I could really care less as long as everything works, except for one little thing, since nothing has classes or IDs, it makes it much more difficult for me to tweak my userstyle all the ways I want to. I know this isn't anyone else's problem, but it would sure be nice if there were classes and IDs that didn't have any CSS by default, but anyone could use as reference to style the site themselves.

Haha it wasn't a counter argument (as I tend to agree with you), it was commentary about what happens over and over again: two opposite sides arguing with no one changing their minds.
Your apology is accepted anyway - Merry Christmas :).

You can do that yourself for pretty much any site with the Stylish extension for Firefox, which lets you tweak CSS of websites you visit. It turns out to be surprisingly easy to write your own color scheme or whatever. I actually use my own for hacker news because the default one makes it hard to see the links on the front page that I've already clicked on. http://arvindn.livejournal.com/98803.html

PG should keep track of votes and see if there are statistically significant differences depending on the color of numbers. It'd be quite interesting if the same article gets more votes when it has a red number, as opposed to green.

I was so confused when I landed on the homepage just now. I'm on my little brother's MacBook and thought his colors were off - then I put red + green together and the light went off. :)
I assumed the red items were those that needed my immediate attention. The pattern was just a coincidence, of course.
Decorative colors? Markup that doesn't have some semantic meaning? How strange.
;)

We better take this vanguard out before the larger group notices. Move quickly.
(Braces used in a Lisp-style, naturally.)
Regardless a choose your own table christmas adventure would be fine for next year.
Because PG has nothing better to do with his time.
Too far!
I've Sinatra on loop on the living room speakers and I'll be waltzing with my lady for a few hours before we depart for a Christmas ski trip.
Anyway the HN christmass mod really made me laugh.
It's been a long week.
