Geoff Hart says of Nielson:
<<If I am going to use more than one HTML page, I provide some form of
navigation so the readers can figure out where they are. I believe that is
also a Nielson principle.>>

It predates Neilson by a good many years, though I wouldn't be surprised if
he's written on it too.

Sam replys:
Thanks for clarifying that. hough I wouldn't be surprised if Neilson takes
credit for coming up it!

Actually, there are a lot of things I don't like about Neilson either, most
of which you mentioned in your previous post--and I'm beginning to be sorry
I dropped his name. However, I did get information from some of his stuff
that was helpful to me.

And I concur with what you say about "experts", take what you agree, leave
the rest.

By the way, my opinions are mine and not IBMs, especially about usability
"experts" and movie scripts.
