sigh…
A client mailed me this morning why another website of a friend of his had 7 pages of source code and his only 1.5 smile
I checked his friend’s site: all inline javascript and table-based layouts with FONT tags vs. lean XHTML and CSS, you get the deal right?
I’m having a rough morning, show me some love…

I love it. He actually wanted more source code. I printed my friends source code, and its long, and looks so confounding, his designer was obviously “well worth the money”.  But your code, is short, and clean, and practically readable, ...I bet I could do that! “why am I paying you?”

Sorry man. I feel your pain.

Funny. Reminds me of an old thing about writing…It’s easy to write a page but very difficult to write a single sentence…
Charge him double

Being offended by other people’s opinions is retarded.
