Hey, I don't change my car's oil but I know people who do. Instead, I pay
someone to change the oil. I pay someone else to tune my car and adjust my
brakes. I know what kind of car I have and what I can do with it.
Certainly those who create websites should consider who they expect to serve.
If they expect to serve those people without the inclination to improve their
"vehicle" or pay others to do it then they should build a web site for that
audience. Leave the autobahn to those with the cars able to use it.
Before someone buys a car and plans to travel they should understand ABOUT
cars and ABOUT traveling. This is just too obvious. Again, I point people to a
great story about cars and the internet:

If you visit a website that uses java then be prepared to be prepared.
