why? they got paid, didn't they?


this is the gig when you're a professional - you do the work, bill the

client, and hope for the best. nobody owes you any sensitivity, nobody

owes you any pulled punches. 


if organic and boo are right and this is a good way to recreate

positive aspects of the high street shopping experience online, then

they'll be laughing all the way to the bank and we'll look like

idiots. if those of us criticizing boo are right in thinking that

ambience is less important than convenience for e-commerce sites, then

boo will redesign and organic will look like idiots. its a fair fight.


you're playing in a global market now - time to big up to the tough love.
