Re: Books on Writing Functional Specifications

John has a history with regards to such questions and in the past has been
somewhat more eloquent in defense of his position. I for one agree with him.
Reread the question that was asked. If you're looking for books and web sites,
at least indicate where you have already looked.
Use Amazon and your favorite Web seach engine and then ask the list for
comparisons. Learn a a little about the subject and enter into a discussion
regarding your findings.

Unfortunately, as phrased, the question is asking the list to do the basic grunt
work. This is the same gripe that many have towards the questions from students.
Instead of clearly defining the questions, they are broad and open ended. Then
the person requesting the info never even participates in the ensuing discussion
(If their question was even worded in such a manner as to provoke discussion).
