You also may want the flexibility of both. For example:

<strong>Headline</strong><br> The quick brown fox jumped<hr> over the lazy dog.

And the code is clear and easy to read.

Ah, I think you are in a minority. Or maybe I'm very opinionated :)

Hmm.. good point, it wasn't working when I tried it. But I still prefer to include it on a high level into my CSS frameworks. Set it, forget it, and use freely.

You can't do display none for BR element. But even if you could, you wouldn't want to overwrite it for the entire website. Also, the HR element is a very old, largely unused, and styleable, so its a good candidate for this.

Sure you can certainly run into that issue in some cases, that's where your judgement as a developer should kick in.

This is more of a finishing touch, rather than something you would do initially.

The percentages were just made up - it could be tested to see which makes people more comfortable. Maybe 10% / 15% / 25% would be more effective.

Nice work Greg!

Nope, no snapshot.

Suspension is temporary. Termination is permanent.

Suspending = we're freezing your server until you pay. Termination = we're deleting it permanent.

There was no reason they couldn't suspend it and let me know. Termination was going too far.

I hear you on that, but a suspension would have been more reasonable. Suspend the account and give me 3 days to repay or something. It's good business for them because they would keep me as a customer, and its a real alarm to me. They did not mention deleting data anywhere.

They didn't shut the service down, they wiped the server. They could have suspended it and given me a few days to restore. This is sort of like "I didn't pay my phone bill on time, so my carrier removed my phone number".

Good point - fixed
