I appeal to all those still living for whom there's strong evidence of having been raised by monkeys or chimps to sell your story and do interviews.

I feel I'm getting good at determining whether a transgender woman has a penis by listening to her pee and factoring in height and age related prostate enlargement statistics.

I could believe there are six now. Seems like it. Used to be more. Used to be a couple more of mine.

Oh. My mind isn't on html anymore. But I found a use for all 6 once! I think I have a screenshot of that page.

Found it!

But is it really H1 to H6 in the source code? H3 looks bigger than H2.... BTW I can't seem to find that webpage when I search for phrases from that low-res screenshot....

Yes, it was. The CSS changed the size.

It no longer exists as of two or three years ago. I found a post on another forum where I discussed it. I added the headings in 2005.

I attempted to write with my mouse "h5 will go here." The actual h5 heading didn't exist at the time on that page. I think the plan was, after a few entries/paragraphs there would be a whole other division of h4. Not sure I have the source code because I had a problem with proprietary backup software.

I found a piece of the page. The snapshot above doesn't show the heading "FTC Fraud Survey" which is h5. It's included here:

<span style = "font-style: normal;">August 5, 2004</span>

<p style = "padding-top: 16px;">
In 2003, the FTC "commissioned a survey of 2,500 randomly-chosen adults about their consumer experiences during the previous year." On August 5, 2004, the FTC published the results in <a href = "http://www.ftc.gov/reports/consumerfrau ... i>Consumer Fraud in the United States: An FTC Survey</i></a>, which showed that over one in ten Americans were fraud victims. The <a href = "http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2004/08/fraudsurvey.htm">press release</a> announcing the report includes "the top 10 frauds listed in the report." Those ten were the only types of fraud that survey participants were asked about, representing "...the most prevalent types of complaints reported in the FTC's complaint database..." and "...frauds that have frequently led to FTC enforcement actions."
</p>

<p>
Also studied in the survey were "two additional situations that frequently indicate that a fraud may have occurred....(1) paying for a product or service that a consumer does not receive and (2) being billed for a product [other than products covered in the top ten frauds], that a consumer had not agreed to purchase" and "'slamming'&mdash;a situation in which a consumer's long distance telephone service is switched from one carrier to another without the consumer's permission." The survey found that an estimated 13.9 million consumers were victims of slamming.
</p>
<p>
The report tries to justify the "conservative" method used to determine who's a victim with a footnote that says "In the context of a randomized telephone study, we have very limited information about the nature of the businesses with whom the consumers were interacting." The study is useful, but could have been more accurate.
