Cr*p isnt it? Wader you are absolutely right about the enthusiastic amateur web master, IMO. I think it goes something like this - an organisation has a 'good idea' such as 'we need a web site'. 'Bloggs, go and make one'. Luckily Bloggs finds the enthusiastic amatuer who produces an interesting and, at that moment in time, up to date portal into the organisations activities. Enthusiastic amateur then realises he does not get the resources to maintain the website and loses interest and eventually moves on. In the end the organisation is made to look foolish and the message it sends out is that it cannot be bothered and/or doesnt care (at least that is how it will appear to the internet generation).
only my 2p worth
