Surely, you can just go to any of the many crummy sites on the net and
approach it thus: would Albert's program give helpful clues that the
author would benefit from attending to directly.

But I have many misgivings about objectivity in this test of yours. I do
not question your motivations. I am much more worried about the very
fact that your criteria might well be from the point of view of would it
pick up stuff that you would find helpful. And what you might find
helpful might be very different indeed to what someone less capable
would find helpful.

I just have this indelible image of brave Albert clucking innocently
into the wolves den here...

I will be looking for is whether the advice it gives leads them
in the right direction, as opposed to only seeming to be helpful.

I am curious as to how it will turn out, but I am swamped with
paying work until Friday. I can toss of a Usenet post or two
while the techicians set up the next test, but I want some
uninterupted time before I start testing software.
