Larry, you are truly the master of attributing your words and ideas to the
wants/needs/desires/thoughts/etc. of others. If you have taken anything I
have written here personally, I apologize. However, if you will recall where
this started, I VERY SPECIFICALLY STATED MULTIPLE TIMES that this was meant
as a general discussion, no specifics involved. Not my site, not your site,
just the World Wide Web in general. Users and designers. That's it. Not a
critique of my (admitedly flawed but heavily disclaimed as extremely
temporary) site. Not your business savvy (which you seem to try and flaunt
often), business model, or client relations (and not just in this thread).
Much more to the point, I don't care one iota if you think you are 'right'
here...I never intended to see a 'right' or 'wrong' in this discussion. Just
discussion.
That having been said, if you still need to be 'right' here...you win. I'm
bored with the typing. I'm sure we'll see more on this, but not from me, not
right now.
Matt
