| Mar 31, 2013 at 8:10 | comment | added | Erics | When users ask me "where is such-and-such?" I always answer with "Where do you think it should be?". This has two effects: first, I glean a bit of useful feedback about their expectations, and second, the user learns to not be lazy (i.e. ask me) and be more self-reliant (i.e. read the damn screen) because its damn annoying to have a question answered with a question. | |
