Your list is not doing what mine were, but it is doing something annoying, 
which I've recreated at http://interprep.com/test.html.

My second list on the above page has the <P> tag on each list item, which 
double-spaces everything on the list. On the FIRST list on the above page I 
manually removed the <P> tags.

Why are <P> tags in there? I want a nice, single-spaced list.
