Why do some here (NOT Bruce, I say one last time!)
keep trying to convince us that good tech-writing craft can exist without *both* technical accuracy and clarity of expression? Is it because it is easier to pretend that good, honest craftsmanship is not nearly as important as guruhood? Sometimes you gotta wonder.
