How come entire threads are being displayed in italics now?

Check out "Civilization Envy" for an example.

I'm using Netscape 4.71 (and NO, I'm not going to change)

It looks fine on my IE, but on my Netscape it is all italics for what people are saying, but not for the "[reply][private reply]etc." part between posts.

My problems have stemmed from embedded tables. Seems Netscape doesn't quite like embedded tables inside of a blockquote, though for some reason, the article Siegfried cited formats properly in my slightly-customized Netscape 4.77 (some detail below).

I have come up with a CSS sheet that does eliminate the italics from the blockquotes, and does (with the limitation listed above, and an unresolvable problem with the right margin) restore proper margins to FReeper non-blockquoted and 2 levels of FReeper blockquoted text. It does work in Netscape 4.77, but it does not work in IE 6. It may or may not work in Netscape 6.x (IMHO, that loads too slow to be of use outside of multi-voting online polls). If you're interested in the CSS code; it follows:

steveegg's homemade blockquote "Fix" for Netscape 4.x users (IE users can use this, just use the numbers in parentheses, and I offer no guarantees to Netscape 6.x users)

BLOCKQUOTE
{
margin-left: -40;
}
BLOCKQUOTE BLOCKQUOTE
{
margin-left: -5;
}
BLOCKQUOTE BLOCKQUOTE BLOCKQUOTE
{
margin-left: 25;
}
