Well it seems thats what type of clientele that your experience attracts.

Obviously our experiences are different.

You evidently are a big time web designer that attracts attention all over the
world from
people who cant see it.

Where as I am new to traditional webdesign and find myself here because of the
opportunities
that new technologies like Flash offer to create interactivity and animation for
web application on the internet.

No attitude my man, we are obviously from two different backgounds. I come from
designing
graphics for print and creating3D/2D animations for front end CD-rom
application.
Because of that I dont cater or offer my services to a broad audience like your
experience in traditional web design evidently allows you to. Ive only created
very few
traditional webs sites. Its not my livelyhood. It may soon be part
of it if Flash can attract the budgets my corporation demands.

Indeed, as anyone. That still doesnt change my or a majority of people's opinion
about"Hotmail" or other "freebie" accounts and how users have given them a bad
name.
Why else would programmers direct there attention to provide ways to filter them
into the trash.
Not your fault, not blaming you. Just trying to warn designers if they try to
attract business
with them.

Cool as long as they dont have Spam filters they'll recieve your mail.I was
stating a comment to a developers list, not giving advice on
how to email private letters to my personal friends in the army.
