Luckily I've been doing this long enough now to say, no, please don't do this to yourself or your business. You've spent too much money and too much time to throw it all away with a tiny design disaster. But they insist. Ohhhh they insist.
I can empathize with the message of this essay because I feel like it reflects the roots of my career, but I wouldn't share this with anyone I know because there is so much unnecessary cursing in this that gives it a really immature feel.

You could for instance, write this with a theme embodied like, "I am webmaster, hear me roar" or "webmaster of my domain or something", but I thi…
I think the rest of the essay does a great job of explaining why and how webmasters were so important and how they were/are the ultimate problem solver. No ego boosting qualifiers necessary.

Yes, I find the lack of under construction signs and badly alpha blended gifs disturbing! ;o) (By which I mean: it's a thing of beauty!)
