Yes as long as local solutions aren't required to scale up or down in all dimensions. There is nothing wrong with a local solution for a local problem. Clay Shirky has discovered the principle of 'situatedness' and is writing about it. One of the web myths is that all apps need to scale. It just ain't so, but even scale itself is not a simple problem. Not only is the lunch not free, the menu is tough to manage day to day. Even local problems have multiple dimensions. Simple things like alphabetization vs database order for documenting table fields cause riots. Every time I zoom in on the problem tree, I discover another branch, and sometimes, I saw it off. len From: Hunsberger, Peter [mailto:Peter.Hunsberger@S...] It helps to address local problems first.
