I apologize for the off topic post, and for the distinct possibility of 
the flame war which could ensue.  I know there are some HTML Coders out 
there and they would probably best be suited to answer this.

I am a High School teacher and I teach Web building among other 
subjects, and one of my duties is to maintain the High School Website.  
Prominently displayed on the Site is the name of my predecessor, and the 
fact that she created the site.  She left one year ago this October and 
is no longer a School District employee.  My name is below with an 
e-mail link for those who have questions or comments about the site.  I 
have had several people ask me why her name is still listed as the site 
creator and why my name isn't listed.  I tell them it is because I did 
not create the site, she did, and I do not wish to take credit for the 
work of others.  I am still being urged to remove her name, and by more 
people.  Should I do this or stick to my ethical guns (Which is what I 
am still convinced is right to do)?  Thanks, Dennis
