RE: Credit where it's due

OK, I do agree to some extent. I think that if a site design has been
ripped off from someone else wholesale (ie no change to colours etc) then
yes, that should be noted or else the critique is really about someone
else's site... but then, it is still worthwhile to have someone point out
that this background doesn't work etc etc

On the other hand, most of my sites have evolved from someone else's
design. I don't claim the initial design as my own, but I do claim a new
look and feel... where does that fit in?

If you're after a critique of a site and some part of it has been taken
wholesale, it probably is worth noting...

clip art or two - and that aspect left me wondering what exactly the
designer did want us to critique. That's why, in my original post, I said
that people should say what they created and what they didn't.
