Hay Karinne,

I couldn't agree with you more especially when it comes to stealing others designs.

I know when it comes to the coding, unless one creates a totally new and unigue code of their own, it's virtually impossible to avoid coding similarities.

However, the likely hood of design similarities are few and very very very far between if at all but, with the millions of sites on the Internet it'll be hard to protect your design from those who'd be incliend to steal it even with all available preventive measures in place.

Perhaps in the future we'll have websites code & designs that will self distruct during any attempts at modifying for reuse.
