Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

My sneaking suspicion is that some users "know" in advance that the
wizards won't work for them so they don't even try them. Or they think
they know better and start out with tweaking and modifications and then
complain that "it won't work". I believe that many rash assumptions are
made by people who should know better.
