This assumes you can even talk to the users. If it is a political requirement that everything passes through an intermediary, things are inevitably going to get garbled. At my first job I finally got a chance to talk directly to the customer, and it was amazing how much we were able to clear the air. Unfortunately, I had already handed in my notice, so there wasn't a lot I could do with the knowledge I gained. -- /~\ cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid (Charlie Gibbs) \ / I'm really at ac.dekanfrus if you read it the right way.
