Terry That web page, although filled with excellent advice, was clearly not developed by either a Human-Centered Designer or a good writer (ideally a good technical manual writer). I bet it was never tested. My critique of it is simple; The very sort of person the advice is aimed at is pretty definitely the sort of person who would never read it. As I keep trying to tell some of the people who post on this digest: shorter is better. Norman's law: the number of readers of a document decreases by the square of its length.
