No, a web manager is a web manager is a web manager. This
desire to use the wrong person for the job is one of the most
saddening things in academic websites today, I feel.
We are a bit of all of the above, but a type of our own, I
feel. On this list, I'd guess I was probably in a job that has
been called "Web _Manager_" the longest (1994, I think).
Perversely, I doubt that's the title of the main University
webmaster here.
