Scott Meyers (author of Effective C++ et al.) has talked about this subject many times (including in the aformentioned book) and it puts the ball squarely in the Rails team's court. Let's make the reasonable assumption that your clients—

It definitely seems like VentraIP could improve their communications as it seems the migration process is separate from the old account cancellation processes (from what I have read across the forums and their press releases). So a misunder
