Thanks for understanding. I was really hoping that the original comment wouldn't come through as a rant about designers in general, but more as a list of things that good designers should avoid. I think most dev shops can do very well to hire at least one competent designer instead of trying to separate the design phase and the development phase and outsource the design.

It may have been a rant, but there was some great info in there. Being a designer, I didn't take offense at all. Many designers don't want to "get there hands dirty" with html, but I think that's changing, especially as there are newer designers that have never designed for print entering the market.
