Oh no! The mass debating continues. I warn you, it's going to come to a sticky end.
Stop it, or you'll go blind. (Apologies to Max Gillies.) [Trust me to lower the tone of an intellectual discussion. :) ] Cheers, Terry Quoting Geoffrey Marnell <geoffrey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Hi austechies, Yes, we have ventured wide and far, so let's come back to my original question, which has been somewhat overshadowed. What is the logic, if any, in our common practice of calling a chapter in a user guide, say, "Entering transactions" rather than just "Transactions"? Yes, some of you like the longer version: but can you justify it or give good reasons for it, reasons that in some way are audience-centric or to do with usability, rather than based on tradition, personal preference or backyard astrology?
