We may be in the minority, but on the other hand, who in general is going to post criticism to him directly, even if they have some? I really think it's difficult to list all of the website's flaws directly too him for two reasons: one, it's very hard to know how to effectively articulate to him what we agree are the site's flaws without getting too technical or sounding mean-spirited, even if we have good intentions, and two, anyone who dares to criticize Adam's page is going to be immediately jumped upon by his fans who probably aren't able to grasp the concepts of website design and professionalism. Craww was personally attacked by a subset of them for daring to post a crayon drawing of Adam and Larry on his myspace page. I'm sure that even if I could find a way to effectively articulate the issues where Adam is likely to read it, I'd immediately get a bunch of insults directed at me.
Of course, one could argue that if public opinion is such that most of the fans aren't inclined to consider criticism of a website, what the minority thinks essentially doesn't matter. However, I'd like to believe that criticism of an intelligent few is just as important as quiet agreement from the majority, especially when it comes to the overall impact on his career. While a poorly-designed website may not damage his career
terribly, a fantastic website could really help it along.
(and as a sidenote, my comment would be immediately dismissed after reading my name anyway.)
