You're not even wrong. And that's saying a lot.
"Dynamic CSS" is just CSS that, at some stage, is manipulated such that the final version is different from the initial version.
Validated CSS is just CSS that succeeds a standards parser -- if the original version is valid, then the derived versions, unless they add in nonstandard or invalid CSS manipulations, will be valid.
Furthermore, "plain old validated CSS" is... ... ... Not even wrong. What the hell is it compared to? Invalid CSS?
That's like saying "I prefer plain old source code" -- source is source. If it is invalid, broken, then it will not work. Or it will have bugs.

auto gen, I agree, is very close to static CSS...close...variables still apply to it.
This statement is very Pippy-like. It reminds me when we talked about environmental toxins and concentrations thereof, Pippy would continually assert that "toxins are toxins", as if that was a meaningful sentence.
The sourced quote above is totally nonsensical. As I said, CSS that is built dynamically, if it uses valid CSS expressions, will be dynamic.
The reason one may want to make flexible CSS's is to support:
- different themes
- different display medias
in a flexible and development friendly model.
LOL, I have made themes for SMF, Joomla, Geeklog and Wordpress. I have even worked Flash into them. No need to get upset, lol, and of course Im right. You are right as well.
I prefer working with flash. Having static systems are much easier to get Flash to validate.
Its nothing against you...lol...its just me and my Macromedia.

For the most part I agree. Most forums need to be changeable for many different reasons. The ability to make daughter themes is also a plus...but the system can also get to the point where it seems to be held together by "paper clips and masking tape" LOL. I dont think this forum is anywhere that bad though
