According to the page numbering, Geoff sent you a 4-page PDF that only had 3 pages. Damaging as that might be for his credibility, I enjoyed it enormously. Hmmm.

I can tell him that a few of us have employed anthropology-like methods in software design and documentation. But then the degree he contributed to was Anthropology and Linguistics. (It tried to submit this with my own name - Ed - and got an error. Who says a name must be three or more letters? A different flavour of nerdview?)

I don't suppose there is any way that you (or your listeners) know of to access the article for free? A great podcast, by the way.
