This is of course somewhat more acceptable in research than in development environments. While you may reply to this list if you think it of general interest and not sensitive, I will be glad to maintain confidentiality for examples sent to me at: jgrudin@daimi.aau.dk or grudin.chi@xerox.com on Internet.
