I don't think the use of templates should be a yardstick to measure professionalism. Now, I assume that you didn't mean your claim to sound that way, but I think there's real danger in trying to define tools with "professional and accepted" ways of doing things. If all "professional and accepted" ways of doing things had been left to the professionals, then we certainly would not be as technically advanced as we are today -- not brag, just fact! There's a reason why the newest inventions and innovations come from "amateurs" and not those in the work force known as the accepted "professional". tedd -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
