And proud, now that I know what one is :-)

A mate of mine works with one of the Very Very Large multinational
intermediary consultancies. You know, the guys who marry entire Governmental
IT departments to potential outsourcers in the scale of IBM, EDS etc.

The other day he sat down at my computer and, over a nice merlot, proudly
showed me their new corporate web site. Probably only cost them a $million
or so.

I immediately fussbudgeted my font size up two notches and we admired how
the entire site fell totally apart. White text escaped out of its blue boxes
and disappeard. The menu bar wrapped under the fixed size box and became
unusable. Stuff went everywhere. You know the deal.

Mate said: You could make some money showing people like us how their web
sites break so easily.

Nope, I said and pointed him to alt.html :-)

If each of us continuously fussbudget at the stupidity we see every day then
eventually the web as a whole might just become a little bit easier to use.
