UKNM: Wimps?

[Richard Houston]

Hello all,


With one or two exceptions, the quality of postings on the list is *dire* at

the moment, isn't it?


> "My site's better than your site"

> "Yeah, but look at this wacky design. It's really kewl."

> "No, I saw it first"

> "I could do better in my sleep"

> "Could"

> "Couldn't"

> and so on. ZZZzzzzzzzz.


And while we shoe-gaze, we are being colonised. Within hours of one other,

Amazon arrives, Expedia arrives, Razorfish swallows up (sorry "merges with")

Sunbather.


Friday afternoon it may be, but I find this a bit depressing. Are we going

to just lie down and take it? Do we suffer from a fundamental lack of

ambition this side of the water? Maybe David Bentey, Jim Sterne or someone

else with lots of air miles could give us the benefit of their

trans-atlantic wisdom.


-- in case anyone feels childish enough to have a pop at me for working for

a US owned company, please don't bother. we know you know. well done --


Grumpy. Sorry.
