    Perhaps allowing stupid people to create web pages is a way to release the energy that even the rocks of our society possess in creative forms, rather than to let them accumulate all that terrible energy only to find them climbing a high tower in the morning armed with a high-powered rifle, looking for a school bus. Even stupid people have uses - God made so many of them... "When in danger, fear, or doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!" - Lorelei and Lapis Lazuli Long

    You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.

      No need to list. Everything that smart people can do,stupid people can do as well. ;P this is my signature for forums quoted from shog*9: I can't help but feel, somewhere deep within that withered, bitter, scheming person, there is a small child, frightened, looking a way out.

If you run the server yourself, you get intimate knowledge of server administration. Unfortunately, most people think that because they understand what the <h1> tag does, they are a top web designer. I remember one guy in college who, after two years of being learnt visual basic, couldn't actually attach some code to a button. Yet he made a html page with a pink background and large green, flashing text, and decided to do a degree in web design. I decided not to tell him how much programming would be involved. Muahaha!

                            Not to say all people who use a browser as the presentation layer are idiots ( I'm one of them ), but a lot of people seem to have got into web dev in the 90's because they owned Frontpage....
