[Sigia-l] seeking rules

[Victor Lombardi]

I'd like to make a little plea for the novice designers who actually 
benefit from these sorts of rules. I recently did some consulting for a 
large company whose designers didn't know, for example, the difference 
between the web, the web browser, and the Internet. When it comes to not 
knowing much at all, or having some rules to fall back on, those rules look 
pretty good.

Of course, I prefer absolute practices better ("know your users...").
