Your list of "things that must go"

[Spit-wad]

1. Websites with sound that starts up automatically

2. Most Web 2.0 design trends. To be more specific, a 1-2px 90° light drop shadow on text combined with a 90° very faint inner shadow, on both buttons and text. Often done with serif/sans-serif hybrid text.

Example:
http://www.livestream.com/

I stumble across sites with this stupid text effect every day, and most look a lot worse than livestream's.

Websites with sound that starts up automatically

that ranks right up there with sites that are based 90%+ on flash.

haha wow, i disagree with everything you want gone. Going green stuff, whats the problem with it lol, helps lower polutants and stop global warming, and if anyone still thinks global warming is a hoax, i think that would entitle them on a refund of all degrees, certifications, etc they have. Not to offend anyone lol.
