Real professionals will never use them. And so "real professionals" will continue to produce image- (and hence bandwidth/download-time) intensive pages which annoy the hell out of most of us, whilst the non-professionals will continue to produce lightweight, effective, pages that load in a fraction of the time, look /almost/ as good, and deliver the message. So be it. Sounds just fine to me. Philip Taylor
