Hi Gabriele,
I fully endorse your view. Usefulness can be value in many cases, in art and games and in many other situations it isn't. It's not needed either. Happily Leonardo and Michelangelo and Dante had a larger view on life than just usefulness.

I can't ignore this difference. your criticism is very similar to literary criticism: would be this poem "useful"? utilitarism, I suppose. or marxian criticism: everything should be "useful" to the underlyining structure of society. otherwise, is useless. on the web, every single layout should be "useful". that's the underlyning pragmatism of the WWW. sorry, this is not my point of view. regards, Gabriele -- http://www.css-zibaldone.com/the-css-switch-project/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ -- No virus found in this incoming message.
