I dont see how moving out from a discussion after stating your opinion helps anyone.
I reckon, there are better ways to deal with perceived arrogance and ignorance than sarcasm. I, for one, certainly expect more on the list than one line retorts. If there was something incorrect about what was said, it would've been better to give an explanation on your point of view. It helps all of us on the group to hear matured/different views on the topic or why bother replying at all? Regards Manish Govind Pillewar --- On Thu, 17/9/09, Charles B.

If you cannot see the arrogance and ignorance of a comments like "I could write a whole book about why usability test and focus groups are bad for you and your customers but I wont" or "the reason why UCD have so much weight today is because there are a lot of academics who don't know how to actually design (i.e. making a > decision) so they need to take it into a process" then there is no point in wasting time in trying to convince you. ---snipped-- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
