Let's keep those lists to a minimum, and when they're done, make it about providing value, <b>not</b> marketing! Douglas,

Of the list you present here, the one that probably galls me the most is the one about 'marketing'. It can be very annoying when to find that a list has been drawn up just for the sake of a marketing ploy. Thanks for a useful, insightful and thought provoking article.
