    I've just been banned from talking to the end users

    A lucky break as I was getting much too involved and doing quite a lot of work and even solving a few of their problems.

          What the end-users want and what the business wants are often two very different things. Having end-users involved in any project is bad news.

          And if the end-users disagree it just means you need a new set of end-users.
