Wouldn't that maybe be perceived as *too* personal? I guess I was trying to
avoid that to avoid offending anyone with the implication that someone
might think their site sucked. I was intentionally trying to use a little
of the "generic" feel to avoid any personal affront, but maybe it wasn't a
workable idea? <shrug>

<laugh> Point taken, but I *did* ask for opinions, so I am not taking any
offense to any that are given. :)
