Don't let the "Knockers" of this world get to you! When I happen across the self-styled "experts" my response is "you may think you know a lot about ******** (insert topic), but what do you know about identifying mushrooms (or embroidery, or designing and building a banjo from scratch, or juggling custard, or running a mass spectrometer?). The answer in most cases wil be (to quote our American friends) "zilch"! In this case, since when was the Internet a professional organisation - most of the web sites worth visiting are created by weirdos, monomaniac obsessives and nutters who do not give a hoot about what somebody claims to be "MA website design". I used to work at a university as a technician and I know only too well the junk which passes for reasoned argument. The academic world is full of shysters talking bollocks, so when someone starts claiming their degree as a reason to listen to them, that is when I start to reach for the salt cellar, so I can take what is said with a pinch of salt! I have a degree in Biology - so what! I didn't start to understand mushroom collecting until years later when I started to do it for the fun and excitement of cooking them (and the looks of horror on the faces of other people)! I loved the horoscopes. If you like what you have done, don't let anyone tell you it's rubbish. Just a couple of constuctive comments. Try to make the blue clickies short. Only highlight a few words, not the whole sentence, especially when it wraps to several lines of text. It is a bit confusing. One of your pages contains a "Heading" which is underlined. On my screen it looks like a blue clicky, so I wasted some time trying to click on it and get it to do something. Have fun with it! Quack!!!!! GtD
