Er, not true, actually, but I'll let it go on this occasion.

My post was more tongue-in-cheek than most took it, but I

believe there was an element of truth in it.


You personally may enjoy the democracy that the likes of

Freeserve provide, but elsewhere there is snobbery against

people with freeserve and many other 'free' accounts (not to

mention aol.com). In fact there is an enormous amount of

snobbery and derision from those who see themselves as

technically superior.


And without wanting to get into a completely new argument,

the more that the techies believe that "it is on the

shoulders of the techies that the company stands" then the

more snobbish and derisive they will become.


Take care


Andy
