clueless clients (was RE: [thelist] Dangerous Colors)

[Erika Meyer]

You know, I'd like to collect a bunch of vingettes like aardvark's about 
the CMYK-book client... short little things like that about clients who 
refuse to (or are unable to) "get" how design works on the web.  Just a 
couple or few paragraphs each, signed or anonymous.

If I could get a good little collection, I would gather them together, and 
create a little article of vignette content-chunks.

clueless clients who insist on their ignorance really bug me.

Collecting these stories might help me also think about how I can better 
inform potential and current clients about how the web differs from other 
media.

If you have a story to rival aardvark's (about color, layout, IA, links, 
images, content, etc), mail me offlist (meyer at up.edu).  PLEASE take 
[thelist] out of the header so your mail doesn't get lost in my evolt box.

Thanks,  Erika
