nigel ---
it takes far less { time, money, energy, emotion }
to find the "flaws" in the work of others
than to create something of one's own.
you had an idea; you implemented it and asked for feedback.
if one person doesn't like it, then that one needn't use it
[ but, if two hundred flame you,
well, then, there just might be something to the heat - maybe ].
i say go forth and be creative.
be a freethinker.
you will make enemies among the elites and the aristocracies.
you will inspire fear and loathing in the hearts of the complacent.
but you will also make friends.
if one idea in ten turns out to have merit,
you're having a good day.
so get ideas and try them out.
toss the bad ones aside [ or save them for possible salvage value ].
nurture the good ones.
publicate.
learn to make your own pizza.
oh, and while you're at it,
smash the barricades and question authority,
just on general principle.
-------------------------
on this particular idea, you're on the right track in this sense:
"you'll never get a second chance to make a good first impression."
per your request, here's how upper management thinks [ imho ]:
"how is using freebsd instead of the high_priced_spread
going to save acme_disgronificator_corp barrels_o'cash?"
