No it isn't about you (the menus by the way are part of the jpg- but jpgs shouldn't have menus- might "confuse" the humans)

It's about proper communication for a given target and enviroment. I am not denying the measurements of good design- I am denying that design is not subjective. That is does follow more than a header, footer, and different color tabs to create an identity especially amoungst an enviroment of billions of related services. I am denying the end all be all of a relately new technology by pre-determining that unless it follows a lab rat system it is has no value. The same lab rats that choose one web concept of another might also choose donuts over a healthy salad- but eating only donuts is not the solution to ones diet.Being an open enviroment that the web and deisgn is encourages stategic thought and concept, a book like Catcher and the Rye and Huckleberry Fin were written out of the suggestions of a straight forward language- but they succeeded but they best communicated the characters of the story.
Communication is about breaking the barriers between a multi populate audience- it isn't always about a one way point of view- that's like saying everyone needs to speak English over French.
There are logical forms of design elements for certain attempts at commiunication but to call one usable and the other not does not make me an rebel art-fag it makes you a nazi.
This is a new world this a new breed of computer users around every corner- a generation that grew up with mp3 players, Playstations, DVD's, and cell phones. An open enviroment filled with zillions of related content and services- I am a designer to help provide an identity to separate "A" from "B" in this jungle- since usability purist like yourself create "A" over and over again you are actually making my job easier.
When I go to a party I rather talk to all walks of life- not just the few who all say the same thing.
