Re: FLASH: Gabo Mystery-ENVY?

[Brian V Bonini]

Just look at Daniel's site www.users.zetnet.co.uk/djh-graphics

that should pretty much explain everything.

Boring, typical, uncreative, and there is not even any Flash.

And I don't know about Gabo's personal site but tell me

how does the gabocorp.com site not apply design sensibility.

What I see is a good central theme that serves a functional

purpose throughout the entire site. It's easy to relate to and the

first impression is strong. 

****** It keeps you there and makes you want more.*********

Get it???

So not only do you sound like a snob but you sound pretty ignorant

and possibly even a little insecure as well.
