Honestly though, I agree with him. WWW definitely is the safer bet on paper. But safer doesn't mean foolproof, and the risky ventures sometimes are the most profitable. Making the worse move doesn't necessarily mean you made the incorrect one.

I haven't and would like to be enlightened.

It seems like my client removed the ability to edit? I can't find it, anyway.

Regardless, that was entertaining. Thank you for the links.
