We are talking about suggesting a > *design*, not how the site should be published ;) Well, he offered to design it, using the tools he knows how to use best. Since you are asking for people to give of their time and skills, perhaps you should be less imperious about _how_ you want it done. Perhaps you should be less imperious in general. Your "challenge" came off to me as imperious enough that I wasn't interested in offering to help, anyways. For God's sake, you made it seem like not only had all the decisions been made already (by you), but that if I didn't use the right subject line format for my contributions, I might as well not bother! Remember that while you have been lucky enough to get a nice paycheck for jam_ph-ing, the folks whose expertise you are trying to solicit will be volunteering their time and work. Be nice! Lately your postings here seem to be preponderantly of a critical tone, more concerned with taking people to task for not using [OT] in their subject line, or whatever, than with providing assistance and support to those who are seeking it, as you used to do so well. No one doubts your commitment to mod_perl, or your hard -- and unpaid -- work on the guide and many other things. But if you want to be a leader who inspires people to collaborate and work as a team under your direction, you'd do well to work on bringing your people skills up to par with your technical skills, IMHO.
