   Never took it that way.

     I've often enjoyed finding other ways than those traditionally accepted
     for doing things. I do see what you mean with the Swiss Army knife/saw
     connection, but what if the person facing the situation is tremendously
     comfortable with a Swiss Army knife, but has no electricity for operating
     a circular saw and can produce something regarded as nearly flawless and
     even creative using the knife? Likewise, if a person is totally familiar
     with something like Flare or RoboHelp and is quite happy with what the
     output looks like and how it operates, does it make it any less a web
     site?

   I see your point.  I'm comfortable with RoboHelp (haven't used Flare yet),
   but more comfortable with Dreamweaver when it comes to websites.  Maybe it's
   because I'm a Capricorn....who knows, but you are correct in that we tend to
   use whatever we are most comfortable with to get the job done.  I wonder
   what type of website the original poster had volunteered to update....a
   catalog of information or a ecommerce website for performance artists filled
   with streaming video?
