   1. Honestly, it wouldn't.
   2. Some of us are "readers" and don't care.
   3. If you want bright shiny objects to look out, try Slashdot

   1. While I appreciate feedback of all kinds, and do take comments concerning the look and feel seriously, this is not the place to discuss this. There is a "feedback" option - which you can easily see. Instead, you chose to do this publicly, which suggests you're trying to show me up. That lessens your credibility greatly. The fact that you refused to leave a name or any identifying info doesn't help your case either.
   
   2. The site gets plenty of traffic. I didn't know you had looked at our logs and decided it hadn't. The number of comments the site get doesn't reflect the traffic level. It absolutely amazes me that people think they have to explain to me that I don't get enough traffic. I do this site so that people who like it can come and read it. There are plenty of people who seem to like it and come back everyday. Those are the people I do it for. Our traffic keeps increasing every week and has for the past 3 years. It's nice that you're concerned about the traffic of the site, but I'm not. If I wasn't happy with the traffic why would I keep doing this?
   
   3. I own the site. I like the logos. You can create your own logos for your site.
   
   4. I honestly doubt different logos would attract any more traffic. But, show me the logos on your site, and I'll decide if the logos make me want to come back.
   
   5. If the traffic is coming here just to look at the logos, I doubt they're the type of traffic I want.

   I like your pretty pictures Mike. They're why I keep coming back. Oh, yeah, and the news too. ;)

   Actually, I come for the pretty words.

   When strung together they make pretty sentences.

   When those sentences are grouped they convey thoughts, opinions and ideas.

   I like pretty words.

   Paypal has ALL SORTS OF ROOM for FRAUD ..
   
   eg: bob makes a paypal payment to fred.
   Fred gets check, and cashes it.
   bob then refutes payment on credit card, saying he got damaged goods,
   
   now, paypal has fronted the money, and doesnt get it from MC ?

   Why is every story from News.com?

   This site would be so much better if there were other sources for the news besides News.com and Wired News. If I want to read the news on those sites I'll just go there directly. Don't mean to be a criticizing dickhead, but sites like Techdirt need to dig deeper to be useful...
