Quote - If our pleas for a user friendly website are worth less in dollar value than the web-designers EGO - then forget making a profit in these hard times.
Are you listening at all?!

I agree. It's seems to be all about egos, and not just the web-designers. And in answer to your question... No one with power is listening, so don't bother asking.
As stated by others, if you have to search, do it with Google or else just waste time with this search engine.
