Yes, please keep it all together.

And hope that (if that is your intent?) this gets linked to Lots of other visible places - even as a project.. via everyone's er 'special connections'.

I think I'm fairly ept at good English syntax (even if I often choose to break those rules here ;-) All your stuff scans well IMhO; it's neither verbose nor awkward - and that's a real achievement, considering the arcane nature of many of the underlying points that need inclusion.. for the edification of the better informed.

Unfortunately I'm not a good test reader as "the non-Pro non-programmer" around here.. I've found the machinations of Billy n'B - through the years - to be an Interesting soap opera, just as any good English mystery == I've paid much more attention than the average non computer-geek would ever have [wasted]. Much of your content is already ~familiar to me, so it's hard to gauge just how well a lazy mind would react to the totality.. but a PHB could always pass it on to his actually literate hiree, for evaluation. I guess. (We always have to have hope)

Possibly.. you or someone might write an 'suggested' Intro to every site which wants to link to aax. Something along the order of:

"This compilation was created by a person who daily deals with the fallout from the widespread usage of unstable, flawed All-in-One software which was originally of the class, 'toy software'. This software retains much of that original character and underlying design flaws, as it has grown to a size that is now effectively Unmanageable, in the author's opinion."

And/Or

"This indexed overview of the concerns of small business is sufficiently complete (and annotated) that: a person in cold storage for the past ten years might glean a fair and accurate view of business software axioms. The article describes many pitfalls of trusting one's personal and business data - thus one's entire business - to an inherently unstable system. Further, it reminds of the consequences of allowing a single legally-discredited monopoly, random access to all of one's computer data of any kind. Via the included refs. one may verify the allegations via many other sources."

Just a thought,

Ashton

I do intend to add more references and perhaps a couple paragraphs, but it's going to stay basically as it is. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
