I would dare to reword and redirect the last paragraph:

Programmers need to be allowed to talk to their users -- they know what they want, normally. The users might want stuff that the programmers can't give them, but the users can best let the programmers know what is critical for their work. If the programmers don't understand what the purpose of their systems are in the larger context of the users' work, we are all doomed to fail. "Send your questions to our project manager, who will tell it to the secretary, that'll mail it using her own words to the secretary of the (whatever level) boss within the client, who'll eventually forward it to someone who may eventually end up using the system being built and whose response wil travel the same way and end up in the developers mailbox within mere two or three days" doesn't cut it. Don't protect the developers from the potential users and the potential users from the developers!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
