I learned about Audience and purpose in Communication classes, and just now it all made more sense. Thanks for helping me extrapolate my knowledge. I think Pirsig said something like, "The problem you have to day, may not be all that big, but the solution to that problem may be bigger than you'll ever realize [or appreciate]" (paraphrased from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance). Also, because of my naiveté, I assumed that I was the designer—the Absolute Lord of the Web Design Project.
