Unexpected Truths

I was in an interview today (update: not for a job for me, I was interviewing them to do a job for AOL), talking to a design and development shop (who will remain nameless) about their work and other assorted web-nerdery (flash vs. html, accessibility, localization, etc) when I asked them about the different DOCTYPES they use and why they didn't just pick one and stick with it. Here's how the conversation went.

Creative Director: Yeah, we pick based on client needs and stuff... We're pretty anal about standards and stuff. We're geeks, and you know, geeks love anal.
Me: That's going on a t-shirt.

He didn't get it right away, which is probably a good thing. I wish every interview went that well.

You can use Textile formatting in your comments (but no HTML). Here's a quick cheatsheet:

Bold text: *this will be bold*. but this isn't.
Italics: _this will be in italics_, this won't.
Links: "link text":http://url.com
If you know the rest, go for it.
