No, I am sayingthe visitor don't really care. The owners of the pages
may not car, but they need to understand what different decisions will
do.

Na,I have been saying the same thing the entire time.

There are 2 different groups of people we are talking about. The site
owners have to understand what effect their decisions will have on
their visitors. The visitors on the other hand could care less if you
hand coded the site or used a wysiwyg editor. All they care about it
does the site "do it" for me?

If the answer is yes, then the decisions the owner made were god
ones. If the answer is no, then the owner needs to change tactics.
Sometimes this means losing client scripting, Flash, and other fancy
stuff. Sometimes it means using it. It completely depends on what
works for that kind of site.
