I absolutely believe that anything goes on the web. I believe there
should be no rules, only guidelines.

I, as a web developer should be free to create my site anyway I like
with no regard to popular style, accessibility, or usability. And my
site will reap the rewards of what I have sown. But, if my shitty
designed, unusable website brings me more clients, visitors, and
business, then, then I should not be chastised for it. A perfect
example is my son's site. We went all Flash and visitors, customers,
and profits went up. So HOW in the world can someone say that what we
did was wrong?

And "buckaroos" are all that matter in business.
