There's actually a group that tried to own the term 'webmaster' and all the basic concepts of basic web authoring- that is ----. (I probably can't say their name - they've already threatened to sue me once.) They have settled down in recent years, but they would love something like this. Could you imagine a web with no web designers unless they were somehow certified???????

Crazy crazy - no one should think they should be the sole owners of 'how-to.' Crazy laws. Crazy times. Is it me or does it remind you of castling in chess?

Design - a lot of it is art. It is a sad testimony of our time that people are starting to look at an ARTIST's certification and degrees. People are getting incapable of judging art without the help of experts? I dunno. Some of those experts are pretty incompetent themselves. Whatever happened to letting one's portfolio speak for itself?
