aaahhh, we're talking attitude :-)
yep, lots of it around among mac-folks, it-people, pc-people, well:
computer-people in general
and more often than not, it has no actual basis
(look mom, no hands - and no sun-tan, no social life, ... ;-)
in fact, it's never nice, but this was a mail from the cyberstudio mailing
list, and as you know, mailing lists around specific programs and "nollidj"
(knowledge) are mostly worse than actual advertising and marketing blabla
i'm actually a big fan of that list: has no moderator, is totally chaotic
but you get some nice tips & tricks inbetween the ranting
i didn't send it to the list to be smug, but to show that that program has
some advantages over its peers, and i also clearly stated that there are
many ways to make a site
this is my favorite way, and since i'm not a "programmer", it will most
likely be my only option as well
btw enjoy your breakfast :-)
