I've always been a "flying by the seat of your pants" kinda person. But - when in unfamiliar territory, try (if you can) to see things from the other person's POV, and if you can't, try to find out why; there's something there you don't know. Don't assume either, just talk about it (as coffeesp00ns wisely suggests). Also, general advice from the computer world : "Be liberal in what you accept and conservative in what you send."
