    <description> &lt;p&gt;ok I&#039;ll speak, that enough? &lt;img src=&quot;https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/big.png&quot; title=&quot;Laughing out loud&quot; alt=&quot;Laughing out loud&quot; class=&quot;smiley-content&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I havent heard of any of the names you mentioned so cant really comment. different countries, different standards I&#039;m thinking.&lt;br /&gt;
 but like the html writers guide/club whatever it is, they say if you have their icon on your site its better than the rest or at least up to &lt;strong&gt;their&lt;/strong&gt; standards. sad thing is anyone can pay the entrance fee and get the icon, I&#039;ve seen some really badly designed sites sporting their logo. same kind of thing with the W3C validation icons, its good the site validates, mean it works (i didnt say display equally) but who cares if that logo is there or not, just because you dont ue it doesnt mean i wont shop/look at your site.&lt;br /&gt;
so in a round about way i kinda had a go at answering your question, to some it means something, to others it doesnt.&lt;br /&gt;
I think as long as its on a secure server most people wouldnt care what groups you belong to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;**stepping off soapbox :)**&lt;/p&gt;
