Margie,

My manager is averse to using the term "user" when referring to people
who access our training and/or technical information via the Web.

During my extended stint with online databases, we used the term "user community" or even "patrons" -- both of which which avoid the connotations of various kinds of hard-core "users" reminiscent of the '60s... just a thought.

Best,

heidi
