Hmmmm. . . . Perhaps I DID read your email, clicked the link with high
expectations of viewing a great site, and then was blown away by all the
ghosts on the screen. Kewl.

Your lectures must really be something. Let's see. "Class, for maximum
effect, use lots of pointless JavaScript (you know, the kind that doesn't
really serve any useful function), use purple and yellow text on a starry
background, "beam" the text in a la Star Trek Transporter. Make sure your
site's "live" while you're implementing "better navigation" so that people
can get completely lost and will have to make extensive use of the handy
dandy "back" button to get back to (one of two) "home" pages, and most
importantly, protect your kewl code with a cute javascript that gives you an
"Authorized Hawkwind Personnel Access Only!" popup when someone right clicks
on the page to view the code.

I have no idea what the following means:

People navigate via right click (which was what I was talking about)? Hmmmm?

Exacting brief? Can't remember the last time I heard anyone say that. What
the heck do you mean?

Hmmmm. . . . Well, you know what they say. Something to the effect of "Those
who can do. Those who can't teach" --Henry Louis Mencken.

P.S. My apologies to the list, this is my last post to the list on the
subject.
