Just read Mary Deaton's suggestion we go to JoAnn Hackos' seminar on
single sourcing. Warning, Will Robinson! I've read all of Hackos' books
and most of her articles. Does her venture into single sourcing and
databases scare anyone other than me?
I would add to Tim Altom's comments on *compromise* that single
sourcing is, in its pure form, very *complex*, and I'd hate to think
it's being tossed around as a "hey, anyone can do it" solution.
