Perhaps it was a dumb idea.  I rarely look at it myself, but I would not 
go so far as criticizing others for doing so. I do not feel bothered by 
the idea that others might like different things than I, or consider 
different things valuable.  I was here when there were only "a few 
hundred" editors, and recognize these pages as a part of our heritage.
