The "Not-Neither-Nor" sequence is typical, even with regards to American English, versus British English (the Queen's English.) In either case, both are technically-correct.

Nothing there seems to contradict me. The problem in the linked page is that "neither ... nor" is used after "not", which makes it a double negative.
