Well, see there is the problem.  They make the assumption i've not written any 
image decoders.  I'm willing to bet I've written at least one more than most of 
the people here.  Raise your hand if you know M68K assembly.  I've met plenty 
of people that are "IT Professionals" that don't know their ass from a whole in 
the ground.  Like the guy telling me switching to flat HTML would magically 
increase the speed of the the site.

Its more that I just don't give a shit.  Really, who am I trying to impress?  I 
don't care, I've got better things to do with my life than try to please 
everybody.  Its my website, I'll run it my way, if they dont' like it, they can 
kiss my ass.  It only exists to give me something to tinker with.
