You the programmer that stuffed it into the product, who are more qualified than any to judge it's merit, or you the product manager who got clubbed with it, or you the corporate decision-maker who gets to decide if the product can be shipped or not? You the end user who perceives the ultimate value of the product, but little or none of the operational details? Lawyers suck. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
