easy there, big fella

he's not talking about white anglo saxon protestants, he's talking about
the web standards project, an organization that has chosen to use a wasp as
a mascot or symbol

the hint should have been in the way the aardvark spelled it in mixed
case -- WaSP

see http://www.webstandards.org/

   "The WEB STANDARDS PROJECT is a coalition of
   web developers and users. Our mission is to stop the
   fragmentation of the web, by persuading browser makers
   that standards are in everyone's best interest. Together
   we can make the web accessible to all."

tee hee

brian, this is a site for web developers

it's an *org* for crying out loud, and i'm glad the marketing department
types stay well away from here

i've worked with marketing departments too, and in my humble opinion, they
just don't get it

i for one would be *very* interested to hear how we could improve the
evolt.org site for its target audience
