I just noticed the CSS needs one more tweak because, for some reason, first paragraphs are treated separately (I guess it means you can have bold first pars or something if you want to)…

.post blockquote p:first-child {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
font-family:Times New Roman, serif, arial;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:normal;
color:#555555;
}
|
Add a line after “padding:0px”…
|
padding-bottom:5px;
|
Make the “5px” the same as you use in the other change. “1em” might be more universally browser-friendly. And make sure to include the semi-colon.

Save a copy of your style sheet (css) then in the original search for that bit noted above - the exact same bit starting with "div.bubble blockquote p {" - then change the last line of that bit. . Be careful not to change or delete anything else lest things turn crappy.

You simply made a completely irrelevant ad hominem attack then repeated yourself. Again, I would like to know where you get your numbers from suggesting there were no diseases before the arrival or Europeans. I would like to know where you get the numbers suggesting that native Australians and Americans didn't have any diseases and inflictions of their own. Johnny, you did not address my post at all.
