Subject: FLASH: Weekend OT cogitations
From: William Skyvington
Date: Sun, 22 Aug 1999 12:16:26 +0100

Many people such as our friend DG (not to mention the outspoken author of
the ugly "killer"-inspired best-seller) don't seem to understand that the
creation of an ingenious Web site is a matter of combining many talents in
an outstanding fashion. Let me put it bluntly in a caricatural manner:

If you can't handle words like Vonnegut,
and graphics like Warhol,
and ideas like a CNN reporter,
and common sense like William Skyvington,
and a whole lot of other things...
then you should be wary about the idea
of proclaiming yourself as a Flash genius.

David Gary is probably not insane (?), but he's surely not (whatever he
might think) a reincarnation of Leonardo de Vinci. Maybe he has moved out
in his smart cat-like marketing fashion onto the wrong branch (which is
automatically "right" for a marketing-motivated customer), because he now
has to write sentences that start with a subject and end with a verb and an
object. And David, in spite of all his ingenious software, doesn't know how
to solve that horrible equation. He can't write a sentence without
mistakes... as if Leonardo spilt blue paint on his pastel backgrounds. Will
he ever learn? (My bet is no.) David Gary is an incomplete frustrated
artist, trapped by words, like Leonardo without wings... and he shouldn't
be shouting out his large mouth (to my way of thinking) as if he were a
genius, which he surely isn't.

This message is NOT an off-topic quarrel-making thing. On the contrary, I'm
doing my utmost (maybe vainly) in an attempt to get you all back onto the
right path about the basic challenges of web-site creation. Sensitive
readers might read between the lines. And friends might even reply by
private e-mail...

THERE IS FLASH AFTER-LIFE BEYOND DAVID GARY!!!

Don't feel sorry for him. David Gary is currently deriving untold priceless
marketing advantages from my present e-mail. In case you hadn't noticed,
he's a marketing man much more than an artist...
