I'm sorry I need to explain this to you, since I'm fairly certain
what I wrote was not misunderstood by anyone _else_.

The point was not that one can "tell a site was generated by a CMS"; the
point was that they tend to _all look and act the same_, basically
following the utterly inappropriate-for-a-usergroup 
Slashdot news/comment/blog format.

I keep hearing people say it doesn't _have_ to look and act like that;
I look for counterexamples, and ask if anyone has seen one.  Nobody 
has yet found one.
