Jakob Nielsen is wrong more often than right and tends to over sensationalize. The observation that so many people use Google instead of a site's home page doesn't mean much. Most of the time searching Google is more productive because it can turn up alternative sources of information. In many cases the vendor website is not the best source of information. Vendors as often as not will be trying to cover up problems, not trying help you solve them. Also, many web sites are so poorly organized that the best way to find things is to Google with a site tag. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
