Wasn't the old ScottPB line about one good webmaster in that list once before ??
Anyway, Vick's post of a few weeks before Xmas, where I first heard the term coined "webhamster" deserves something. Never a truer word spoken - in jest or otherwise.
Oh, and the success quote from Mike A1? Crediting that to him is called breach of copyright - it's been on desk calendars since Noah was a boy.
And Gonzo lording over the crowd at the Excalibur Krispy Kreme saying "Let them eat donuts" deserves an honorable mention even though it wasn't posted.

But I do know that Scott used to call his juniour staff Hamster No1 etc etc... LOL
Yep, my thoughts exactly.
Most of Scott's staff in the old days were ALL numbers and not names.
#7 and #11 still answer to that more likely than their names, in fact I knew #11 for a year before I actually found out his name.
He was not a big fan in the early days of anyone knowing anything or anybody - they were not even allowed to call themselves anything but their number - hence the number scheme.
He had some *brilliant* management strategies way back when.
