I was told by one of the mainstays on this listserv
that the reason why there are so few End-User Task
Analysis posts is because most of us TWs already have
that issue licked, and that the REAL issues we face
are how to use the tools. In other words, we mainly
face production problems, not writing problems.
Therefore, we should no longer have the title
Technical Writer. Our title should be Technical
Communications Production Specialist. And the name of
this listserv needs to be changed from TECHWR-L to
TECHCPS-L.

here is the tally as I've kept track of it:

to do with technical

displaying the author's
ostensible knowledge and puffing up the author's
