Scenario:
Harry, Jethro, Parson, and Oliver are four college buddies who live in four different cities, in four different time zones, on three continents. This spring they plan to go to Myrle Beach, South Carolina to play as much golf in five days as they can. This foursome also wants to visit as many show as possible and eat in as many different restaurants as they can. Unfortunately they rarely agree on such venues without a great deal of discussion and consternation. To get things started, Jethro set up a draft itenerary as a Bridge document and showed the other three how to access this page using the web and full editors. During the two month they planned their trip, they often came across each other while making comment in the full editor. This process allowed them to have their arguments--sometimes in real time and some times delayed over several days. Often two of the friends would get together and totally rearrange a day's itinerary. As time came closer to departure, things were still in a daily state of flux. Jethro was concerned that the Tuesday trip to the Alabama theater might be changed by one of the other three, but a business deadline would not allow him to constantly monitor the Bridge page. Jethro deployed a proxy to monitor this page for any changes to the itinerary section for Tuesday night. Two days later his proxy called his cell phone to let him know there was a change and that four lines of text containing the word "Alabama" had been deleted by user "Harry". Jethro called Harry on the phone, accused him of taking advantage of Jethro's distraction by his work, and coerced Harry into putting Alabama back into the itinerary. When Jethro checked a voice mail that arrived while he was talking to Harry, he was please to hear his proxy reporting that user "Harry" had added four lines of text containing "Alabama" to Tuesday envening's itinerary. The next morning Jethro had a few seconds at his computer, and he noticed that Alabama was on the itinerary as he desired. Jethro decided to rename his proxy "Hands Off Alabama".
