No, a jerk is someone who has a Web page that can't spell the word 'artist'
correctly. Especially if they ARE one.
Or someone else who criticizes someone who merely points it out...
You know, in the old days, this kind of notation would have been
appreciated. No, actually, it wouldn't have been necessary-- because people KNEW HOW TO
SPELL back then.
Ah, irony........it so goes over people's heads these days, doesn't it?

The Handmade Film Institute, _www.handmadefilm.org_
(http://www.handmadefilm.org/) , exists particularly to
provide this information; it's in our resources section. Our goal is to be
complete (more so than now!), so if something is missing that you'd like to
know, let me know and we'll put it up. It's an ongoing project, and helping
you (or anyone else) out would be a welcome impetus for its evolution.
