For anyone interested in seeing how NOT to use the Internet
correctly, take a peek at the so-called (and I use the term
loosely) "Fair Share" Market Value Assessment site from the
City of Calgary at http://www.gov.calgary.ab.ca/ .  Here is
a perfectly good example of a bunch of folks who purportedly
believe in public access to information but are clearly too
inept to design a site that is able to sustain reasonable
web traffic. Rather than install limits, they just close the
whole thing off. Talk about a good way to breed public
distrust.
