    Hey Nic et al,
    I understand your upset and anger...Friday I was so pissed off. But...I think when someone steps forward and admits they are wrong (even if it's because they underestimated how many cages would be rattled by their actions) it is more fruitful to be open and encourage a dialog. Everyone makes mistakes. A famous designer (whose name escapes me right now) once said that if we never allow ourselves to make mistakes, to fail, then how can we ever succeed?

    It was a really stupid mistake but a mistake nonetheless. This incident touched on something that we designers are very sensitive about and subjected too time and again. There is an opportunity here to emphasize the value of design and educate.

    • Agreed...but why should we have to educate a company who's business is built around design?Lt_Jack_Hammer

    • This was not a mistake, it was complete miss understanding of the design industry and it's values.roundabout
