"Gee, Mr Wizard, how DID you get that predictive model for every
possible transition combination without asking *anyone*?"

"Well, Billy, it's like this: Sometimes you put a transition support
piece in place for a short period, but it's really more effective to ask
people to go to the right place in the first place, so eventually you
can take the transition support piece out after a while. It adds up to
fixing the base problem, not just being satisfied with camoflaging the
symptoms."

"That's pretty neat, Mr. Wizard. How'd you do that?"

"Well, Billy, first I planned the transition, and then I posted a note
to let the offsite users know about the new stuff. Then I put
redirection for the most common old URLs in."

"Gosh, Mr Wizard! You're really smart!"

"Thanks, Billy. Now remember, safety first!"

8-) Thanks, Phil...

(PPS -- For folks who don't recognize it, "Ask Mr Wizard" was a popular
science education TV show in the late 1970s and early 1908s. Very moral
and proper.)
