Many, many thanks to all who contributed their two cents to this discussion.
I have alot to ponder...I've got a meeting scheduled in a couple of weeks
with the very folks I have to convince so now I'm almost ready to do this
"sales" presentation. Why do I have to "sell" my ideas? 'Cause I'm the
first writer this organization has ever had, and they want concrete reasons
for everything I do (not to mention I'm still somewhat new on the job).
Nevermind the fact that I've got many years in this profession behind me
already... :-p
