Here is an example;

First log-out of s...@home and, difficult as it might be, try pretend that
you are not good with computers, the internet, or anything technical.

Now visit this very typical team page and ask yourself this
question...."What is this webpage about and what do i do next";
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/team_display.php?teamid=134438

Results;
If you were logged out of SETI, there is absolutely nothing else to do on
that page apart from click a statistics link to leave the page. There is
nothing on the page to tell me that i could join this cool team if i was
logged in! If i wanted to get involved in this team, there is nothing on the
page to allow me to get involved in the team. I'm left with no other choice
but to leave the page.
