Karen- responding with a broad brush here.:)

Well- I myself would like to know why, but I really don't think its
necessary to *advertise* the features you aren't allowing people to use.

I think lan managers have discovered this truth; when people discover a
feature that is unavailable they'll spend their time trying to figure out
how to get past that *block* and quite often succeed.

Better to design a flow of can-do features that satisfy the needs of the
user, who hopefully will be so successful using those that they won't even
notice what "might-have-been."
