Hi Folks --
From my original message, several people have inferred that my boss must be
awful.
Not so! Actually he's a great boss. Really. It's just that he's not a
writer. Actually, we are all engineers in this group. (I'm an engineer who
is moving into tech writing.) So I needed to collect the appropriate
evidence that I was correct, rather than walking in with "it also applys to
DoD docs because I say so" as my justification.
