Author list lines

On this site:
http://www.bestcigarprices.com/anto...tra/sale-3.html
I just switched the menu on the left to a css list using this as a model
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/vertical13.htm

In firefox, there is a mysterious extra line below every fifth element
in the list. There is nothing different about these elements, so it
makes no sense. The lines don't show up in internet explorer.

What is causing these lines ?

I managed to fix it by eliminating the top padding for the links. But I
still don't understand why it the line would only show up in every fifth

I believe it is a off-by-one rounding error that occurred in earlier
versions of firefox (and Mozilla).
Which version do you have?

1.0.7
I'm still getting lines. Some times its with every other list item and
sometimes with every third , or sometimes it seems random. I thought
maybe someone was familiar with this problem.

I have often wondered about those feeds myself. Very common in FF. I
don't know why.

Yes, I am. There is nothing you can do directly; it is a program defect,
and cross-platform besides. I have a similar problem with my own site. In
FF v1.5 the problem went away, but on your site it is still there so I
guess the defect is just different, not fixed.
It's annoying, to be sure. IE and Opera certainly have no trouble with
filling the area correctly. Grr.
The only suggestion I have is to try different font-sizes, heights,
margin, padding, etc., that might minimize its occurrence.

I took the links out of the list and simply made the links block level,
which is how I had them before and it seems to work fine in IE6 and
Firefox 1.0 but I don't know about anything else.

Actually I just noticed that I'm getting the same problem with block
level links, it's just that I never noticed it before with the
particular padding and margins I used with the links. I could just as
well play around with padding and margins as in a list of links.
