hmmm ... maybe a better understanding of graded categories might assist us
in the definition of what is IA

I certainly feel that many of Ziya's "ooh, shiny!" posts would fit better in
some other forum category such as chi-web. Especially the ones where he asks
"useful? usable?". You want to talk usability, go to a forum where usability
is discussed.

Or at least make an effort to draw the connection between the thing and the
topic of IA. Have something interesting to say, rather than just "ooh,
shiny!"
