And now from the designer's point of view (who REALLY needs the help
you've been so gracious to give).

Precious few designers, and more importantly, clients, are keen on the
idea of having to add a graphic, or a blurb, or frankly anything that's
not in the "style manual", so to speak, for that particular site they're
developing. I've even had client's ask me to take my OWN credit off of
the bottom of the pages I've designed for them!

My point is, can inclusion of a credit to you be in the code rather than
on the visible "surface" of the page? After all, anyone who wants to
see how something is done (or God forbid, try to steal it) is going to
go to the code anyway.

I wouldn't think of using your work without your permission. I've asked
permission from Mr. Moock, Mr. Croteau, and probably you in the future.
But I would probably scrap an entire idea if I were forced to alter a
page design in order to accommodate a credit visually.

I, for one, would be more than willing, even happy to credit you 'til
the cows come home' in the code - a logical place for it anyway. People
like me have the most to lose by your decision since your work - and the
discussions that follow it on this list - are, hands down, the best way
for programming-ly challenged people like me to ever learn it.

Just a thought. What do you think?
