Still self-harming then?

Well, you know, I just say it was designed by God because it certainly wasn't designed by Tim Bradbury. ... He only took a couple of days to complete the job, but what he came up with was a design that showed an understanding of the material so deep it couldn't have been accomplished by anybody else on Earth.
Can you now see the contradiction in your words?

I looked at your site a long-time back and all he did was use themes from the Omen and Psycho with a Gothic background. Got you to a tee!

Any competent web-site designer could knock this up in no time. You are suffering from an extreme case of selective vision and confirmation bias.

Bob, imo, from a technical perspective and given the software tools available, a website such as your own could be created in hours - including reviewing the design with you. However I do realise, from personal experience, that website designers can oversell the cost of their product - a family friend insisted on choosing a basic website design for £3k from a ISP, rather than accept the kind offer from another family member, who actually was a web designer, to do it for free - or perhaps maybe a nice Rioja :).

No, Lynn, it doesn't matter what software tools were available, Tim Bradbury's design couldn't have been conceived by mortal man, and to prove my point, go to Tim's website and look at other websites he has designed. By the way, he didn't review anything with me.

:lol: Thats because its fairly clear what kind of loon you are from your works and it would be relatively easy for any competent graphic and web designer to produce something that would feed your delusions and get you to pay up. Your site is pretty derivative, take a look around at the other loonies sites and you'll see what I mean.

You wouldn't know shit from Shinola if it hit you in the face.

Repeating yourself yet again. :roll:

In this matter I would as I did a stint as a project manager managing graphic and web designers.

You'd look at Pablo Picasso's monumental Chicago sculpture and say, "It's derivative, anybody could have done that in a couple of days."

You seem pleased with your website design 'look and feel'.

At the other side of website design, the techie in me is interested more in the functionality of a website rather than the 'look and feel'. As a general rule of thumb, the greater the website functionality required - for example accepting on-line forms, the more time-consuming and complex the technical / underlying website design can be. The reverse can apply to websites such as your own - which may require less functionally so may have only a main static web page with links from it to pages or to open documents providing additional information, a standard Contact Us message facility and a link to the web designer's business.

Oh, yes, the website look and feel are beyond compare. For instance, if you check the Internet, there are literally millions of church images available, but not one of them could equal the one Tim Bradbury came up with. It is absolute perfection. And the face overlooking the scene is pure genius. The entire layout is the work of a divinely-inspired grandmaster, and certainly not the work of Tim Bradbury, which can be confirmed by checking out samples of his work on his own website. Apparently, however, the website doesn't impress everybody. I entered it into the annual contest sponsored by that website design organization, figuring it would be the best of show, but instead they gave it the lowest score possible on each of about eight different categories. I guess you could say they rated it as the worst website they had ever seen, an obvious satanic attack having no basis in reality.

Yes, Satanic attack. Without question. It's obvious. How could anyone doubt it.

Of course I would boob. :roll:

You are comparing your website to Picasso's work!? Your delusions know no bounds eh!

:lol: :lol: :lol: Okay now I know you're just having a laugh and all that you say is just a wind-up. Nobody can be this stupid. Nice one bob, great persona, where did you get the idea from to make-up such a nutjob?

There is that KKK influence again. One question, are you a member of the KKK as I have read it is very much in existence in the USA and Australia and other countries worldwide. I doubt if I will get an answer as they cover up dont they and wear the KKK burqa. So are you a member of the KKK? It is a simple answer and I promise I won't judge you if you are :twisted:

Why would you bring up the KKK? Exactly where are you from? I'm assuming somewhere on this planet, right?

Three smilies, huh? I guess I must have hit a home run (they don't have those in cricket do they?)
