If someone presents himself to me as a professional cook and then proceeds to over-salt the food, yes, I do feel completely comfortable disregarding his culinary opinions from that point forward.

Where do 'mistakes' fit in in your world?

It's hard to accidentally turn all the text of your blog post into jpegs. It reflects a deliberate decision (and in the opinion of people here, a poor one).
If someone wants to talk to me about proper seasoning while deliberately dumping a box of kosher salt onto some eggs, yeah, I'm going to assume they have no idea what they're talking about.
Someone's Photoshop mock-ups could have new ideas to introduce, yes.
This doesn't. It's just triage of messages as they come in and an all-attachments view, coupled with hand-waving about typography and design by someone who hopes a developer will contact him.

I have no problem with people disliking his ideas, I just think that they should be disliked for what they are, rather than because he's made some bad choices in web design.
Someone over salt some food so you assume that everything they say or do with food is wrong?
Refuse to ever get a lift with a friend because they forgot to indicate once so obviously they can't be trusted to drive?
I'm not wild about the way he's presented his website but I'm still willing to look at his ideas about e-mail workflow with an open mind.
