If you're saying that "Curtis doesn't get it" then we're in vehement agreement. > Redesigning a Web site is easy.[...] > > Screeeeeech (sound of brakes coming on). Clearly it's not. Your comment > above even blatantly communicates that. Sorry, I used the word "redesigning" too loosely. I was referring to the proposed surface and IA improvements that an outsider like Curtis suggested - I should have said "coming up with redesign concepts." It is much easier just to sit down as an outsider and say "I think I could improve things in this or that way" than it is to enact such changes within a corporate framework. I think that's a large part of what Mr XX was trying to point out. If you think of the whole process of redesign, I agree it's not an easy thing. [I said] > Or at least, some of us.

I take this to be your accusation that I have similarly told people to end a particular conversation. I would like you either to substantiate that accusation or withdraw it.
