a) I'm in a shitty mood today. Appologies for the HTML monkeys getting in
my way today :-)
b) We all meet different people. The people I've worked with, even people
proficient in Javascript, flip their lid when they get forced to look at
things like $_ and regexps when they know of easier systems out there. And
I know what SF is like - anyone working in computing there is getting paid
a hell of a lot more than the people working in it here (cost of housing
not withstanding).
