I think you are completely misreading the situation with your fellow webmasters and labelling us a bunch of lazy, easily-rattled babies incorrectly. It is not new competition per se that is giving some guys the willies; it is newbies, many of whom are:
a) reckless and willing to take huge risks
b) ignorant
c) underage
and d) willing to work for MUCH less than the rest of us.

You claim that many of your fellow webmasters are simply afraid of competition - that's not the case, in my opinion; it's the new competition that meets one or more of the criteria a, b, c or d above that is causing some of us to lose sleep, and unfortunately almost all the new competition fits into those 4 categories.

Hopefully that makes the connection between your post and my post more clear for you.
I'm not talking about the people with a valid reason to bitch about the actions of new webmasters. The same ones that think porn is a dying business. I agree with you on the ignorance alot of webmasters show newbie or not.

Why does how much a webmaster will work for bother you?
