Well said James.  We have to remember, this is not religion - and such
religious debates will go on forever.  You have to be pragmatic and get real
work done at some point.

I am beginning to believe that as long as your the use cases capture all the
functionality, you can probable get by with stating it many different ways.

I have see others argue endlessly about structuring the use cases this way
or that without actually proceeding with any real work for days (and even
weeks in one case).

Sincerely,
James.

I like that!  Define the "Browse" use case as anything that delivers the
sought-for thing.  Suppress the detail.

Besides, you can't *prove* that isn't what I meant in the first place! 
The typical browse dialog box has an edit box for typing in whatever you
like, y' know.  All of which goes to demonstrate another important
feature in a method:  a tendency to hide my mistakes!  (If any --
remember, you can't prove a thing!)
