Seriously, if you want to be an a-hole about it, go right ahead. I read your post, and it's not me that "totally missed the point."
Now it's
my turn to pick apart
your entry. I hope you have a pen and paper handy. Or, better yet-- why don't you open Notepad?

I don't understand people who still insist in coding by-hand.
No where did I say one should code everything by hand!! I said one should have some basic understanding of manual coding. Big difference!!!!
That's funny-- I didn't say "code everything by hand," either. Did you pay attention to anything I wrote? Maybe you wouldn't get as bent out of shape about a response if you took the time to not only
read the response, but make sure you
understand it.
Then, you go through an entire unnecessary little schpiel about how easy it is to post an image, the function it performs, and how WYSIWYG editors like to put in unnecessary code. You failed to notice that I've completely invalidated that comment by an earlier response:

The funny thing is, you use an association from our profession to state the
exact same thing:

I kind of look at it like working with video cams and colour temperature. All you have to do is flick the pre-set switch on your camera - it will preset the WB on the rig BUT any photog worth his/her salt should know what that preset switch is doing when activated. When to or not to use it...
Which-- you know-- is pretty redundant, if you've kept up with anything I've posted in this topic. I suppose I should've added the fact that most GUI editors provide an HTML view exactly for purposes like this, but I was under the assumption that you knew a lot about web design.
And after this entire moot-point response, you just
had to shoot some kind of pointless pseudo-jab that really does nothing for neither me and
definitely not you:
I ain't desperate enough having to come here and toot my own horn trying to solicit potential cliental for web design work (this is the wrong forum for that).
First, it's "clientele."
Second, absolutely
nowhere was I trying to "toot my own horn."
Third-- it's a
freelance forum, smart guy. So, technically, it
is the right forum.
Since, once again, you've obviously missed the entire point of this topic, I'll gladly post the initial question for you:

I'm not trying to pimp myself out as a website designer. I've seen excellent examples of both good and bad website design. Given these examples, I
know I'm a great designer and developer.
I can say the experiences with you have been nothing short of insulting, even unprofessional. If you really want to go the ridiculous route of child-like behavior, you can go right ahead and try me. In fact, you're more than welcome to
send me a private message.
Once you get off your ridiculously high horse, maybe I'll get some input from you about my original question. I'm simply good enough to take the good with the bad.
