>i think we need a "to hell with bad WYSIWYGs" campaign...
>nobody who uses a WYSIWYG editor is going to change...

+1 (or rather "nobody who *only* uses a WYSIWYG editor")

And some of it is the "WYSIWYG is all you need" mentality, until
the tools, code and browsers are as reliable as Quark/PostScript/
PS printers

>target the tool-makers... the
>GoLive/DreamWeaver/FrontPage world is doing more damage than
>any hotshot with notepad...

Particularly when FrontPage sees fit to 'correct' your code to that which
optimises for Win/IE, and Adobe have stated that they don't actually
give a monkeys about standards, or accessibility.

>feh...
>"To Hell With Bad Editors"

Sounds like a good article (hint)

Cheers
Martin
