While "What *I* like" is a helpful tool to spark discussions of issues with
clients,
it's important to remember that (unless you're designing *entirely* for
your
own benefit), you are not representative of the audience. The only audience
you're representative of is "Designers my age/gender/location who have
designed this site"
Cheers
