As the end user, i.e. the target audience, of the majority of the sites
that jumped on the bandwagon is other DESIGNERS (I love how, in your
posts, it clearly shines through that you'd pronounce it like it was a
dirty word), it's educational within the peer group. It's an in-joke.
Now, if this stunt was pulled on sites aimed at the general public, I'd
definitely be worried, yes. :)

Oh, and don't forget that nowadays, the lines between DESIGNERS and
DEVELOPERS are *shudder* blurring.
