ok - i'll attack myself here, save everyone else the trouble.  i was a bit 
crabby about the re-quote of:

ok, there was a kind of double negative in the original message, it was "the 
folly of not basing their designs...."   -  which in essence, means....the 
advantage of basing their designs....blah blah blah.

soooooory~!   i was trying to clear the confusion but caused a bit more, i 
love it!  anyway, no offence intended.

but i STILL claim that if someone wants to make a design that you disagree 
with, maybe it's ok after all....give guidance, not rules.  i disagree with 
the tone of that e2r article - even though i agree with it in some ways. 
how can you preach design rules??  they are not rules.
