If it's simply a question of not following instructions, perhaps.
I may have been taking your comments in broader context than you
intended. This discussion is basically about meeting requirements.
Calling someone's requirements "stupid" is rarely a good idea.
("Infeasible", perhaps.) Perhaps you didn't intend for your comments
to be applied to others. Of course, I wonder why you're sharing your
opinion if you don't think it should apply to anyone else... ;-)
It's also worth noting that when many people repeatedly "misuse" a
system, that's often a sign of poor human-factors engineering. I see
this on a daily basis, throughout the world, not just in IT. Bad
traffic intersections. Confusing industrial controls. Overly
complicated tax forms. Things that work well generally work the way
people work.

I haven't, so far, knock on wood. But that's largely because I've
designed around the limitations of Exchange in that area. Had we had
other options, we might well have gone in a different direction,
because it was easier/cheaper/faster/etc.
