Unless I've failed to notice, none of the stories so far has
been about a dumb tech-writer; rather, they're about the dumb
people whom tech-writers work with.
Well, fine. I've never understood why tech-writers seem to
enjoy publicly sneering at incompetence in their own profession
anyway. Do the architects publicize lousy architecture? Do
the bookkeepers publish erroneous bookkeeping? "Hey everybody,
look how badly some of us do our jobs!" Harrumph.
