From this sentence: "I'm not too much in favour of a style "guide" however. Let people be creative." Maybe I overreacted. I think there is a lot of negative tone on this list, I am sure I have contributed to that as well. I think we should encourage people to try things more than telling them its wrong before they have started. Or maybe I'm just a fucking hippie...
