FYI, and not intended as criticism, we covered this issue pretty
thoroughly, I think Fall-1995-ish.

Lots of good advice, strategies, caveates, pitfalls, and tips were
explored, examined from every angle, and worked into fine gold leaf.
I recall the articles having SUBJ lines such as "Click or Choose?",
"Select or Choose?", and "The Hilarious Comedy Team of Click, Choose,
and Select."

Y'might want to check the archive for this stuff.
