A good example of how poor software design interferes with usability. An email client should have a preference for setting top or bottom posting in replies. Many don't. Unfortunately we all end up having to put up with poorly designed software. Unless you can roll your own with LC! :-) So we adapt. But you know your software package is badly designed when you call the help desk when you're stymied on a particular task and the help desk person says, "Yeah, here's how you get around that…."
