John,
If I got the request you refer to, I too would immediately appeal to TECHWR-L, and my credentials are somewhat more substantial than those you describe.

Unfortunately, what is happening is that the companies are going to
these newbies and saying "Create a Network Admin manual for our
enterprise network spread out over over 6 countries and let me have
it in FM in three weeks, JavaHelp next month, and while your at it,
give me an XML file" because they were able to make those request
before, and the newbies, because they've never openned their mouth,
are going "Huh?...Wha??? techwr-l...HELP ME!!!!!
