amen. i've made similar comments during one of the previous iterations of this topic. i can appreciate that some tech writers have this problem, but i've never had it myself. i've never conceptualized the relationship as an us/them situation. not to make light of the issue for those who struggle with it, but i sometimes feel i'm reading a dating advice column when this topic comes up here.

>You know, this list offers so much good advice on how to overcome the divide between tech writers and developers. I too have my techniques. But did you ever ask yourselves why that divide exists in the first place? Why do tech writers, of all other people on the team, have to overcome this artificial barrier placed in their path? Mike O.
