    no..
    never said that..

    i said it's ok for you to let someone come to that conclusion on their own..and not disuade them from it..

    and yeah.
    its a little white lie..

    sorry, but i'm not sure what world you work in..
    the one i know (advertising and design)
    is 100% built on bullshit and lies...
    every ad you ever design, every piece of direct mail you create..
    all baloney...

    im not saying that you tell your CD or AD that you went to freaking oxford or harvard, graduated suma cum laude, and single handedly created the nike swoosh whilist winning the 'one show' award for your first campaign..
    christ..
    just saying that it's very very hard to break into the world of advertising and design..
    so be prepared to do that little extra to get you in the door..
    once in, prove to them and yourself that you were good enough for the job..
    if you are..no one cares..
    if not, you'll be gone soon anyhow..

    get the idea?

    this isn't like ripping someone's portfolio site and claiming it as your own..

    this is just about getting work..
    it's your own design..

    sorry if i sounded harsh...
    just responding to a critic, and don't like being called a dork

    ;)
