Bob,
Do you still frequent the "shores of the Isle of Perplexus"?  The inhabitants are anything from ordinary people with proper day to day values, but then there are the Knights, the Knaves and the Liars!! 

Sorry Bob.  I haven't actually looked at your post, but, unfortunately there are certain HTML tags which are "quarantined" .  Oddly the scholars may access them within a somewhat confined environment.   If one of us was to try to post as you did, we would get the same result!  Sorry, and you will not have been the first to try a similar offering.  In problem posts, scholars may intervene but we cannot help at this level.
