I agree, however, I am not one of those people that underestimate. Do you know
how long it took me to produce my site, as crappy as it is? 4 months. Yeah,
that's right. (well...it maybe due to the fact I do my HTML by hand, no
editors for me). I went nuts trying to make good schems, I eventually gave up
for the moment (I'll eventually have my own..). I'm just saying that Fang's
site has two features, no more and it is "advertised" in many "links" pages as
being something that it's not. I'm not trying to insult anyone or take any of
the "glory" that is rightfully Fang's, just making an observation.
What you must remember is that the average BEAM site makes up most of the
sites and is very important resource. A newbie may read through a bunch of
these sites and come out with a more complete view of BEAM than if he just
visited Ian's and Fang's sites... I don't know where this discussion is going
so that is all.
