Hi Francis I agree with what your saying but I do have a problem and my fellow developers / designers will agree.
I may need to see a doctor about this but my problem is that I am mainly a designer and ideas man (my previous job was to come up with innovative ideas before setting up my own company) this caused too many headaches for developers because 1 - if its 1 pixel out then i go mad 2 - Its gotta work on all browsers 3 - It must be perfect 4 - What do you mean you stupid developer - why cant you do this Yes I do get frustrated cos it should work and I do spend too much time trying to get it to work across browsers and different OS's (I even bought a mac to test websites and download the Safari nightly builds to test that) I should calm down more and not expect everything to be perfect but I have spent days on 1 silly problem that is probably not worth it.
