[entwisi]

As with a lot of websites, what they cost is not representative of their true worth. Most of the best sites I visit started off as hobby sites and have grown through being valued and used by its visitors. It is a shame that the goverment and local councils employ people who think that they only have to put a site up for people to want to visit it. The major problem is that the people who have a clue would not want the job.

In my career I see a lot of very gifted technical people who are forced into management roles in order to get the promotions. I was enlightened by a friend who pointed out, 'Big Business promotes people to a level of incompetance'. i.e. when you are good at a job you get a promotion and this repeats untill you are no longer good at the job. How this is good for the company I fail to see.
