THey know exactly what to do with them. Scream at the list. The point it that very few people care to investigate their environment enough to see whether they can change it themselves. The very essence of "entitled," but what are software designers doing to incorporate technologies that engage with the user and assist them in developing their skill level? "I see you're getting pissed with a mailing list. Would you like me to bring up an unsubscribe request?" An open source Bob the Paperclip? Don't see it happening any time soon. Let's not be too dismissive of users just because we ourselves have enormous brains of which we are inordinately proud (I understand I may be speaking only for myself here). Without their needs the software business would be rather smaller. S -- Steve Holden [email protected] +1 571 484 6266 @holdenweb
