What you leave out is the part of the iceberg underneath. How
satisfied are folks really. Are you measuring that? Are you
imagining what the web would be like if more website makers at
least used 50% more of the things that they could learn here.

If you have trouble wrapping yourself around this thought, here
is a little analogy:

The lack of overt complaint is not a sign of satisfaction. You
know, all white picket fences, the housewives come out all cheery
in the morning. Suburbia is all sunny and happy and the
Republicans are in power. Consider that many people might
actually be quite frustrated in their marriages and you are not
seeing it. You need to see what the hell they say to their
therapists.
