    Last moan of the week (I love 'em really)...

    Setting the scene... this is a client I've tried to set up on basecamp for a sizeable print job with five different stakeholders, but they all still email me, including 90mb attachments.

    "I find it hard to feedback on PDFs. Could you copy the text into a word document and send it to me so I can edit and send back?"

    Sure, how about we use google docs so we can easily edit together and post it on basecamp for everyone to feedback on.

    "Yeah, that's fine."

    Great. Set up file, share permissions. I can see the dude has logged on and starts editing.

    In an email later on that day...

    "I've edited the text. Here it is. Can you put it in the visual."

    It's an attached word doc.
