Well that's wiped out my deeply-held system of belief :o( I can see his point - for me building sites to absolute standards is a challenge that interests me. But my sites can't compare with creating something for, say, Nike. I can see that if you have a project of that size and with that much money riding on it, that you sometimes have to say "Oh hell, just make it work, put tables in there." I guess that having stoked up the fire, JZ (it's that a rapper? "Yo, JayZee!") now thinks it's time to introduce some counter-arguments into the equation. You always need to privide people with an easier route to the top, and this is it - it gets people involved and still lets them complete their projects. From a 'get people into standards' point of view, I think it's a very clever set of posts that he's making. - dunstan --------------------------- Dorset, England http://www.1976design.com/ http://www.orchard.it/ http://www.maccaws.org/
