Personally I feel as that is the absolute minimum in order to call yourself a 'webmaster'. No problem with people who don't know, none of us were born with that knowledge, its the ones with no desire to know their craft at all that bugs me. How hard is it to learn the basics of HTML?
not difficult at all, I learned it in 2 days (the basics now where I wrote my first website in notepad) from a tutorial website that is still up after all this time. (this was 1995 when i used it). a WYSIWYG editor is fine, I use dreamweaver, BUT, sometimes something unpredictable will occur and you just HAVE TO know how to debug your code by hand.
Just a spaz's 2¢

for anyone interested, here is the link to Dave's Site, an interactive HTML tutorial. yes there are a couple of pop ups and yes, I used this site to learn HTML in 2 days. Printed the whole thing out, put it in a binder and studied it between repairs on a factory floor.
