Deconstruct, please, Will... ;-) Is it the comma before the conjunction you object to? Or the mix of the colloquial 'I'm' with the formal 'I am'? Or what? Bad style?

For Diane, your pal could contact the ISTC via <http://www.istc.org.uk>. The ISTC has published several articles in recent years by writers with experience of rolling out - or rolling up - wikis in medium-size corporations that have highlighted the pros and cons well, and they may be able to put you in touch with said authors.

(We can't reply directly to Dennis, as only the mail group he's used has been given here.)

I appreciate that this probably won't help with the person-to-person aspect, but a web chat would be as good, surely?
