I think that the type of communication is an important factor. If I am reading a novel with an artistic bent, for instance, I am going to be far more tolerant of convolusion and creative wordplay and may even consider it a positive feature. If, on the other hand, I am reading a technical document while trying to debug a flaky server, I am going to be rather irritated if the author can not express her ideas in a clear and simple manner that requires a minimal amount of interpretation (and I would dearly love to see a technical document written by this mythical author). _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
