RE: What is "well Written"?

[Chris Borokowski <athloi -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

I've found the same thing in development. You have to
listen to the users, find out what they are trying to
say, then interpret that as what's best for them. This
is why experts exist.

I realize I may end up defending this on the front
page of Jonathan West's newspaper ;) but I wouldn't
have a problem doing that. The alternative is
unrelated feature creep, bloated and turgid language,
and that special kind of vagueness that inhabits the
twilight zone between logic and marketing.
