Users read messages?

From: Gary Thompson

Users read joblogs?

From: James Lampert

Why is it that so many users, when confronted with a message to the effect of

XXX1234 received by YYYYYYYYYY

don't seem to have the sense to track down the XXX1234 message in their joblogs, and find out what's up >with it?

Do they expect developers to be able to read their systems' minds?
