It's a long article :-)

The article seemed balanced, thoughtful, and detailed (well, detailed
enough for me!).

I had not previously thought much about the logical complexities of the
problem. It was good of Julia Layton to bring that in as well.

My impression of her writing is that if she had written some of the
user manuals about DVD recorders, you wouldn't have had any
difficulties ;-) ... as well as some of the manuals I have had problems
with.

I'll bookmark the site's home page (although I think I have it
already). If her article is representative, it should be a valuable
resource.
