Flutterby™! : Lets homestead a new planet

I spent a couple hours yesterday with some truly intelligent, interesting and wonderful people, even if they were technologically clueless. And then I ran into the "marching morons", at 30 minutes I was hoping to be able to inject an exit strategy.. and crawled away at just under an hour. At some point I considered asking this apparently successful businessman (no clue if he really was) who reminded him to breathe.. so I could stop them. If I had a receipt for that hour of my life I'd ask for a refund.

And then, icing on the cake, a great email flurry from a MCSE Certified (according to his .sig) who was wanting to know where the DTD was for the "Pseudo-XML" outputed by: FormMail.php as his system could not read the XML without a DTD. - I responded, it's just barely XML, but it imports into Excel and OpenOffice Calc nicely and the field setup depends on his form/html. In the following spasm of e-mails I realize he's just buzzword proficient enough to think that if I called it "Pseudo-XML" and it has XML in the name, it must be some kind of official thing, and his parting comment summarized: "How dare you create your own format!". He must be Indian. dots, not feathers. (oh, that was politically incorrect, sue me.).
