And when I see some in your Flash design I might think otherwise.

No matter how much you keep telling yourself that, it doesn't make it any
more true. Many people have tinkered with that idea, I worked with
something similar years ago at an old gig using Perl and Imagemagick, but
like everyone else that experimented with it, I came to the same
conclusion. It isn't practical because of the load it puts on the server.
You couldn't run a major site like that, that's why people use an image
cache solution instead of generating the images each time. You'll figure
it out eventually. Considering your lack of experience in administering
servers I can see why this might seem alien to you. There's more to making
web pages than you realize.

I'm sure that's why most web applications are written in ActionScript.

Wow, just when I think I've seen the depths of your ignorance you manage
to dig a hole and jump in.

You hide all your HTML in your javascript and all your formatting is in
those "transcendental" <style> tags you also hide in the javascript.
That's the only reason it validates. If you really understood CSS you
wouldn't have any <style> tags. Nice try n00b. Like I said before, your
just a poser, but a damn good one. Your persistence amazes me. Even in the
face of insurmountable facts you still try, I at least have to give you
that.

I might have an easier time believing your self promoted level of skill if
you could actually do something as simple as correctly configuring your
sig.
