By the way, what's the tune for "It Depends On The User"? :)
** Somebody's got to answer that, and it might as well be
the Supremes (You Can't Hurry Love):
I need rules, rules
to write my book
I need a style guide
to take a look in, but Mama said:
No one way is right.
No, no one way makes sense.
It depends on the user.
Analyze your audience.
No one way is right.
No, no one way succeeds.
It depends on the user.
Bear in mind your market's needs,
but how many users have I known?
I'm not the one they see. I'm not the one they phone.
Right now the only thing that gives me half a clue
is what I imagine I, if I were them, would do
but I remember Mama said, etc. ...
