Amen, brother, excellent post. Both you and Kynn raise valid points. Professional web designers have set up shop between content providers and end users. The best design therefore would be the simplest: feather-light and nearly transparent. But working like this requires an intelligence, maturity and a fundamental humanity that will never turn a young web designer into a rock star. But this is surely the toughest nut to crack: what to do about a basic lack of humanity. Punish it? Educate it? A little of both? A lot of both? Given that 60% of the world's lawyers are in the U.S., I suppose it is inevitable that this will all be effectively decided in their courts. Too bad. Given their recent performance in the Presidential election, it's hard to be optimistic.
