People with too much time on their hands I guess. There's a phenomenon (that I subscribe to) that includes helping people by pointing out mistakes (since humans learn by making mistakes) but often not providing guidance. Not providing guidance forces the person who made the mistake, to think about it and then fix it in their own way.

Its not the kindest form of helping, but its pretty darn effective.

if I run across a website, I'm not looking for source. But if a friend of mine was showing off her site specifically with a facebook post and I looked at it, I would absolutely look at the source to see what direction of knowledge they appeared to have picked up. Not hoping to complain of mistakes but just curious about a fellow web dez/dev.
