Westenberg.
Kent Beck supported my request to be able to put online the Best Smalltalk Pattern.

@the_roamer Nah. People just don't read. Period. They glance at the first thing they see, and think they've read it. So:
- Never put more than one message in an email.
- Put the key point in the subject line.
- Start with the main point; don't bury it in the email.
- If you have more than one point, be sure to explicitly highlight them, and start the subject line with: TWO THINGS.
- Don't be surprised when people still don't read what you write.
