I tried various work-arounds to no avail. Negative margins are not valid

Are you sure? At the moment I'm limited to a Unix version of Netscape Communicator 4.76, but this work-around for zero-indentation of the left margin (for those opposed to that) works for me:

<style>
blockquote.spoofkill { margin-left: -40; }
</style>

<blockquote class="spoofkill">This is a blockquote.</blockquote>

... that is if that was what you were looking for. Making classes would provide for more customization options anyway.

Uhg. You are correct, negative margins are permitted. I guess I screwed up my margin-left.

Yes, all this stuff should have classes. I will probably end up putting the highlight and quoting in classes, I hadn't realized how many people, or rather existing articles, used those tags.

Thanks. I played around with this s'more, and found that I didn't need negative margins at all!

BLOCKQUOTE
{
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-right: 0px;
}

Now the blockquotes are completely undone!

Harry-- would you like me to install this fix for you? I can pretty much reset the forum to the way it was before my changes.
