That's a good point. I'll consider it, but for right now it seems the tide is in favor of outing bad sites.

Of course, this site could inadvertently become a way of "shaming" sites into getting better. That would actually be a better outcome than just steering people away from sites made by people who want to help teach but just aren't quite skilled enough by themselves.
