Re: Hand-coding all the way, or...?

Agreed...and it doesn't help anyone when you have some users that are
"flying blind" when it comes to anything other than playing around or who
are not interested in the technicalities.  Because perhaps they don't
understand the intricacies of html or of the program that they're using,
whatever it might be, they do tend to get their wires crossed at times and
then everyone gets in on the act and mass confusion occurs.

...and I *love* your scenario..LOL
