I find it distressing how rude people are both requesting help and offering it. A cheap way to put a comedy show on the air is just have people insult each other. I think a whole new generation has grown up thinking of insult as a form of entertainment. The Internet isolates people from a punch in the nose, being screamed at, threatened or other physical retaliation. You see the same effect then when people are isolated in cars. They behave quite differently than they would face to face. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com Doing what the user expects with respect to navigation is absurdly important for user satisfaction. ~ anonymous Google Android developer
