You work in academia, don't you ?

That's no secret. But if you imagine that means that manglement are
readily amenable to being educated about IT matters, you have a
completely unrealistic view of academia, I must say.
Nevertheless, we techies try not to shirk the duty of trying to find
some way of educating them, when the opportunity arises.

I've worked with both. Academic management _aren't_ quite so stupidly
ignorant. They may be equally resistant to education, but they're not
so bad to begin with.

Not "skip", but supply an empty string.
And they're attributes, not tags. Calling an attribute a "tag" is
like fingernails on a blackboard to a lot of us here.

I see. I was tired & corrected it in my later posts. I was just thinking
this morning that my technical vocabulary is terrible. I think it's because
I've worked alone for the 5 years I've been coding sites. I'm realizing it
helps to "talk shop" with others in the same business. Not just to learn
better ways of doing things, but how to communicate!
Thanks.
