<DIV>That's a good article. I suspect his approach worked because he was already intimately familiar with the site. My task would be to go into a customer's site that I haven't even seen yet, let alone explored internally.</DIV>

<DIV>However, the question is what to say to the customer, not how to do it.<BR> </DIV>
