Thanks for the article. Just wanted to note that I found the way the order of the answers was reversed after each question made it a bit difficult to keep the two projects straight.

Seconded. While I can understand that Jonathan wanted to treat both projects fairly, the action did put a burden on the readers.

Also, I would have liked an introduction to the interviewees.

I also found this annoying.

I, OTOH, found the alternation perfectly logical, and a practical solution
to a common problem. =8^)

That said, a sentence in the intro blurb explaining/warning about the
alternation would certainly have increased the usability score. No
argument there. As it was, when I came across the switch at the second
question, it brought me up short momentarily, while I accessed the
situation to figure out why it didn't quite make sense. About a second
later, I had glanced back up at the previous question, noted the reversed
order, and immediately intuited the reason behind it. After that I was
fine, but a sentence mentioning "In the interest of fairness, I've
alternated the answers on each question" in the intro would have avoided
that abrupt < Stop! Evaluate the disturbance. Note the required
adjustment. Continue. > sequence.
