What's the excuse for the abysmal quality of this site:

?

There's a *lot* more to a good website than W3C validation.





i.e. Why aren't the items aligned in tabular form? The concept is as old 
as the printing press, maybe older.


This get declared in CSS but not used:

> div.row{
> grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 2fr;
> margin: 0;
> padding-bottom: 1ex;
> margin-left: 25px;

Changing it slightly fixes that:

 > div.row{
 > display: grid;
 > grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 3fr;

Note the 3fr for better spacing IMHO.


Then adjust the text align and it'll look better.



Then there's the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle - it's still all 
duplicated info instead of having a sortation feature (yes, requires JS, 
makes it less crap and is worth it).
