Thanks Michael - I am glad that there is someone else out there who gets fed up with inane petty email debates that bore most of us silly.

This is just getting silly guys. Surely you have something more "pressing" to do? As you can see, press is an ambiguous word, anyway, just ask the IT press and tell them to stop the presses before we all get depressed. Remember that 30% of any audience that you encounter in Australia will not have English as its/their first language, so keep it plain and simple, but not simplistic. Hey, here's an idea, How about picking up a phone or walking over to the next desk actually asking a representative member of your intended audience what works best for them? (Asking the "users" for the sake of relevance and usability -- what a scary concept.) Get real.
