My point was what qualifications do most people have to really judge others work? I know from personal experience that everyone on the designers team is very good at what they do. I know Brad, KA, and Andy are very well skilled, and I'm very sure Brad would not have put an amateur into a team lead position. I've seen that Princeton is a fairly well accomplished designer. Since design of HTML/css is my area thats the only one I'll comment on. But please keep in mind that we wouldn't have brought anyone onto the team if we didn't think they could do the work. Everyone improves if you give them time. We all had to start somewhere.

You can see myself as a skilled coder and you know it, I think my release record proves that.
As for improving with time, I honestly don't think recruiting people who need an improve at a time when quick changes are needed is such a good iea.
