"What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof." -- Christopher Hitchens --- Original Message --- From: Bob W <p...@web-options.com> Sent: September 25, 2012 9/25/12 To: "'Pentax-Discuss Mail List'" <pdml@pdml.net> Subject: RE: OT, do you miss the heyday of bad web design? Hell, no. Ours starts in the pits and goes downhill from there. We have 50 different and feuding people who get final say, then it has to be signed off by someone who hates all of them and all of us. When it's been signed off we circulate it to the different offices round the globe who get to tell us which bits they don't want us to show, so we have to translate their wishes into something that a computer can understand, then get it all signed off again, which means put back the way it was before the overseas offices made their contribution, which was only meant to be a token gesture. After that our principal donor will tell us why it doesn't adhere to their standards since they changed them last without telling us, and if we don't adhere to the standards they'll cut off our funding. So now it has to go through the full internal review process again because it's a major change, and an emergency change at that because go-live was supposed to be in July, but the emergency change board are scattered across 4 continents and 17 time zones and we can't get a quorum. Somebody important says "Something must be done", so I make an arbitrary decision to go live, because that's something, therefore it must be done, and throw it over to the support team to sort out at their leisure.
