    • 1. Start off with deciding what you want on it.
    • 2. Delete, destroy, burn, remove, obliterate anything and everything that isn't on that list.
    • 3. Since the information is likely already on the Internet already, save yourself the time and effort, and burn the list, too.
    • 4. If you insist on going ahead, the order of precidence is: Speed of response, usability, readability, quality, accuracy, honesty, believability. People will believe anything that's delivered to them quickly. Just ask the Afghans.
    • 5. Trust nobody and nothing. Distribute widely. Keep your laser handy. Alpha Complex will be completed shortly. Please wait.
