Being a webmaster don't you think I know
that the info you discovered would be easily found?
Wolfgang said much more than I copied. 
The use of the singular "a" in the above suggests to the careful reader,
notwithstanding the garbled syntax and the attendant ambiguity, that it
is
the author, rather than the auditors (or lectors, if you want to be a
stickler for form) who is referred to as a "webmaster". Thus, as
"master"
is a widely accepted honorific denoting a high degree of proficiency and
professionalism, your self-referential use of the term is presumptuous,
grossly and undeservedly self-congratulatory, and transparently
dishonest.
Bob,
Now you have done it! You awoke the Wolfish word monger. Please leave us
and never darken our pages with you Spam again. I am not a young man and
can't afford the time spent reading his post. Oh where is Charlie with
his
one line, straight to the heart zingers?
