Yeah Im one of those always asking neXus odd questions, hes always got an answer too 8-)

Our CMS can be just as badly behaved, thats the problem you always have to work around your limitations.

Has Nige says you get some sort of things with all CMS it is just their nature because of the hard coding
I and My friend Richard have had some ideas about doing our own and forums as well in .net and we had some great ideas about how to create them to avoid such problems and offer a lot of control. Sams is very impressive from what I have seen and he has to be very happy of how that has come on but he is not great in terms of the style and what it means to make one with this in mind.
I cant do such things on my tod though and if I get one of these jobs I may pitch some of the ideas I have all the time to them Or do something with someone else

Drupal though I have heard about but will have a closer look at

That also brings me to another thing - joomla is nice But I could improve that by scrapping its table use - it uses far to much code to do things and say if me and nige went through it all we could do a joomla X or something that would be a lot more streamlined but do the same thing and be far less code and far less table use.
I got/get To many ideas for things Me
