Glad to see a few of us still have a sense of humor.

Well dear boy, according to your attitude, I'd be surfing the web
using a 300 baud acoustical modem and dos.

Huh? What does that have to do with anything?

I haven't totally snubbed my nose at strict, just haven't gotten
around to doing it yet.

Uh huh, sure.

The problem I see, is not what you use, but how the browser presents
it. IE seems to follow their own little set of rules.

No, the problem is your failure to understand quirks vs standards mode.
You have brought the display problems upon yourself because of it.

Points, ems, and even pixels have set definitions. Yet browsers seem
to use their own set of definitions.

Um, your problem has nothing to do with the units you've chosen. Ever
hear of the CSS box model?

Ask a publisher of newspapers
what a point, or an em, is and he will tell you.

That's irrelevant to the problem you are experiencing.
