It kept being pushed back, and then the ball was dropped, and then...

Well, I'm happy to say that it's *finally* published, and I'm
extremely happy with the way it came out. I hope you are, too...
especially those of you who were so generous with your opinions and

Getting Clueful: Five Things CIOs Should Know About Software
Requirements
Software requirements documentation was supposed to itemize everything
that the application required. But the project was late, the users

That is a virtually useless page. It takes forever to load, and
then presents only a fraction of the paper, in a fraction of the
received page. Get rid of the eye candy, and transmit text.

I'm getting very concerned that you may not be able to find enough
trite things to complain about and waste your time upon. What is it

In this instance, he has a point though. The page does take forever to
load, and, for me at least, it never got around to displaying what it
was supposed to host.

The OP would be better served hosting that page somewhere else, if
possible.
