Re: Links are not buttons. Neither are DIVs and SPANs | Karl Groves

For Patrick and any others who are interested:

Since I don't think it's particularly helpful to
challenge someone's post on a list where they
can't see comments, here's Karl's contact form,
so anyone can contact him directly with their thoughts:

http://www.karlgroves.com/contact-me/


I can understand not wishing to sign up for an
account, but why not contact the site owner directly if you have an issue?

I find it notable that the things I post to this
list sure seem to generate a lot of
Metadiscussion, which isn't my intention or how I
prefer to spend my time contributing to this community.

Good luck to all of you in finding information
that circulates beyond the list. There's a heckuva lot of it.
