ah, yes, pscates, you are entirely correct, BUT, if you used to work in an idiotic environment such as this as you say (and as i am currently sentenced to do), you know as well as i that some poor production person got saddled with the blame, AND the design company lost the gateway account because of this -- even though it was gateway's fault to approve it.
god, i gotta win the lottery and start my own business so i can laugh in the faces of some of these executive schmucks one day. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />

You are, of course, entirely correct.
The higher-ups would NEVER take any heat for this, deserved or otherwise.

The whole point was that you said ARTICLE. It's not an ARTICLE it's an AD.
