I agree.  If you asked Joe Public to assess some of the websites criticised

on this list, I'm sure the feedback would be entirely different.  Issues

such as the pixel size of frames and the RGB background colour of certain

pages would be unlikely to come into it...


You could perhaps say the same for website awards (e.g. Yell).  I bet Joe

Public would make *very* different selections to the new meeja folk who

decide who to nominate... heh heh.  :)
