I guess I have to concede your point here.

I have a rule of thumb that I usually go by when designing sites:  When
people go away from your website, they are going to think one of two things.
Either they will think, "Wow, that site had some really cool and awesome
graphics," or they will think, "Hmmmm, that site had some really informative
and interesting things to say." They will rarely say both.

I guess teenagers are the exception to the rule. But then, who can claim to
understand the teenage mind?
