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.
