To Restate What I Have Said Before:

....

Jeez, Tony, you make as persuasive a case as a straight traditional chiropractor defending "subluxation" with a priori assertions in the face of sacientific solidly researched contradictory facts. Your zeal is blocking your assessment of the effectiveness of your communication, a tendency which bodes not well for a techical communicator.

Folks, here are some practical overviews and beginner's intros to DFD:

It's really nothing that can't be done -- quicker! -- with a good outlining tool and a persistent probing for dependencies in a process or organization. It's all about patterns, you see.
