Netscape - will it ever catch up?

I've been a big fan of Netscape forever, and it pains me to say this,
but I'm tempted to advise people to use IE. There are some nice effects
that can be done using style sheets that I'm losing with Netscape. My
favorite is having a fixed (non-scrolling) background.
Another problem that I'm having is that (as far as I can tell), Netscape
is ignoring "leftmargin=0" in my <BODY> tag. In IE, my images are
butting up nicely with the left edge of the browser, but in Netscape,
there is an 8-10 pixel gap. I've always believed that the leftmargin
attribute was official HTML. Am I wrong about this?
Does anyone know if the Netscape folks are doing anything to fix these
problems?

An elementary school student (k12: kindergarten to twelfth grade) played
with a URL shortener and found a Usenet post. Probably had no idea what
Usenet is when he replied.

Sad, but I bet that is a *teacher* in the K to 12 range in the public
school system in Middlesx NJ.

http://www.middlesex.k12.nj.us/msd/Schools/

Each school has a link, there are not many, and there are easy to find
staff lists for all of them. I didn't see any "Brandon Kirk"s or "Kirk
Brandon"s listed.

I'd like to think that anyone employed by the school district could
spell "honestly" and would capitalize the pronoun "I".

So I tried emailing the address and got a bounce:

Diagnostic information for administrators:

Generating server: middlesex.k12.nj.us

***@middlesex.k12.nj.us
#550 5.7.1 Delivery not authorized, message refused ##

I don't know how they've configured their mail servers, but only
allowing internal users to email students seems a likely scenario
that would result in a bounce like that.

My local school district certainly has anyone-can-email addresses
and only-logged-in-users-can-email addresses. I've run into it as
a parent trying to get support for computer problems in my child's
classroom.

Certainly not. For example, JavaScript 1.0 was introduced with Netscape
Navigator 2.0 in 1996-03.

Agreed. 1994 is more like it (for NN 1).

To begin with, it is the year 2016.

To continue, you are using a b0rken Web interface to Usenet.
Please stop doing that, and get a real name.

Hello,

I really wonder what site you are speaking about.
Your conversation is spread on the whole usenet. This is the use of
newsgroups, isn't it ?
The tinyurl you gave only accesses a thread on usenet, via a Google
gateway. So, there is definitely no web site out there.

A very little list of providers can be found there (some claim a fee,
some not) :
https://www.techradar.com/news/the-best-usenet-providers
https://free-usenet.com/

You can search for "nntp providers" or "usenet providers".

To access usenet you can use a client software as for instance Thunderbird.
https://www.thunderbird.net

Of course you will have to spend a little time to parametrize it. Then
it will save what threads and what messages you read, allowing an easier
access to a follow-up.

Thunderbird is also a mail client.

It exists because Google has all the answers for idiots like you and to
add insult to injury, it forgets nothing. So it still exists and idiots
like you keep responding to something that you know is nearly 20 years old.
