That's interesting feedback. I too dislike, and never engage in, the disparaging of those who perhaps know less than others and are trying to learn. In my own defence, I think a bit of light-hearted teasing is justified in this case: clearly Clear Blue Sky had not bothered to keep in touch with web development trends *at all* for the last several years. They are obviously not even trying to learn (so far) - and you have to admit, their "reasons" were pretty comical. If they'd invested 5 minutes in googling these "reasons", they would have realised that things have moved on (and that, on one of these "reasons", they were probably never right in the first place). Having said that, I'll just leap on to my web standards shetland pony and ride off into the sunset. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
