seriously_
dsmith7, you make some valid points. I don't believe it is a matter of respect or disrespect. That is not relevant. It's about what can be learned from graphic design to be implemented in webdesign; just as there were usability experts/architects in the pre-webdesign era teaching us a lot still.
Despite the fact there is a lot of cut'n'pasting going on, I think design for digital communication will be considered a unique craft on the long run, and it just needs to grow/mature. There is just a lot of (needless) bitching on the whole concept of cut'n'paste culture in design, but that is just inherent to the medium. There is no such thing as good or bad until we see where it led to...and that might still take a pretty long while.
Discussions on this however are very valuable, and we can indeed learn a lot from the "old" designers.
I for instance find myself inspired by the works of Josef Muller-Brockmann amongst many others.
After all: both graphic and new media design need to communicate to their (target) audience.
They are and will be very closely related diciplines.
