I didn't mean to step on sensibilities. I'm quite ready to plead
ignorance when it comes to Flash, Dream Weaver, etc. But, as someone
whose been programming for over 20 years, I can't see how anyone can do
very much in the way of complexity by cutting and pasting some lines of
code. But even that's not the issue. I was simply trying to suggest
that different technological approaches can embody different aesthetic
attitudes.
