Delete and Design

So today Jeff came in for a meeting and after we settled in I asked him, “Should we try to do anything about the Explore page, or just wait until after launch?”
Jeff said (I paraphrase), “That tour page has got to go.” We then launched into an hour-long discussion, starting with the presumption of this one particular page that we’re going to rip out, and moved on to making bumper stickers with a two-word tag line on them, as an expression of the opposite of what the egregious Tour page expresses. Compared bumper stickers to domed labels in social field impact. This tangented into some lengthy discussion on the desirability of choosing a focused market segment and not trying to please everyone, concluding the best approach is that sometimes less is more. We considered the differing impact of an elite right-wing education or an elite left-wing education on one’s stance toward economics and activism. Eventually we agreed that I would delete the offending Tour page and also design a bumper sticker for the tag line.
Then I said, making a few to-do notes, “Okay, cool. Do you think we should try to do anything about the Explore page, or just wait until after launch?”
And Jeff replied, “Oh, wow; you asked that an hour ago, and I heard the wrong word, and I went off on that Tour page, and everything else, and you were so nice, you didn’t even say anything….”
Well, it all had to be discussed, and we had fun along the way.
