Indeed. That's not the point I'm arguing about. For most businesses the business value of the site is reflected by the content. The infrastructure (and those roles) is essential to the delivery of the content, but without the content - why bother? Calling the people who manage the content, the writers and editors "Idiots" as you did is insulting, just as insulting as calling people like John Long, Sean Cribbs and Chris parish "coding jerks". In fact the case can be made that the content is 'ongoing' whereas code can be 'frozen'. -- Very few profundities can be expressed in less than 80 characters. _______________________________________________ Radiant mailing list Post: [email protected] Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
