I build web sites and tools for a living, and as I read your posts I am torn between the two extremes. While on the one hand, I want to say "Yes! I HATE when I see that. It cheapens the message and condescends to the viewer," on the other I am half afraid that as I read through the rest of your site (oops, blog!) I am going to come across a web site I helped a well-meaning church put together. Since my company's vision is to help pastors put forward their vision, we occasionally code work that doesn't fit my own first preference. Oh, I am reading onward, alright! ...but I am doing it cringing, with with one eye half-closed, still deciding where to slap you. :) Nah, we don't hate ya.
