It goes like this
HTML dweeb = people who have just learned how to use the <table> tag. Programmers = People who can program in a Turing complete language Developers = People who can actually make applications Insane people = People who still program C
and finally
Übermensch = People who can program atleast C++, Java, PHP, Lisp, Prolog, SQL, Assembly and has read and understood at least 60% of Knuth's TAoCP
Personally, I fail only the last criteria for Übermensch (<jonstewart type="Throws fists up in air>damn you Knuth!!!!</jonstewart>)

Being an HTML dweeb myself, I'm unsure whether to agree entirely (HTML is not programming), get irritated (only a very silly minority think of themselves as "programmers"), or sit in the corner and cry (I don't know C).
HTML dweebs can become programmers if they learn PHP or Javascript... :)
Ah, but 'tis a fine line between programming and "mere scripting", is it not?
