"I would value your views" rant

[bunn]

It's your dratted website. I know nothing about Wire EDM or shims. Frankly, I don't care if all the shims in the world fall into a black hole and are never seen again. I don't know if your customers want their shims displayed horizontally or vertically, nor do I really care if they find your rightbar case studies more compelling if they are italicised rather than bold.

JUST MAKE YOUR MIND UP!!!

I suppose it is nice to be listened to, but sometimes it is also nice to be given definite instructions...

Use Ladyofastolat's "second thoughts" test: if stuck between two piles of hay, make an absolute, irrevocable decision to plump for one of them. If you then think "I wish I'd gone for the other, but it's too late now" then change your mind. If you don't, don't.

In this case, put the shims in whatever direction comes to hand, dress it up with some fake jargon to justify why that is the only feasible way to go, and see what happens. If they don't have strong views, then your jargon should put them off complaining. If they really object they'll say so, at which point you can claim some brownie points for overcoming your straw men.

I'm going to just template something out for them. Problem is I know that they will then look at it for 2 weeks then come back and ask for something else!

Still, they are paying by the hour, so...
