RE: Structuring Documentation

[Tony Markos <ajmarkos -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Sharon:

Are you addressing me?  I assume you are because I see
the words "refuse to listen".

Anyways, you very well might be telling me something
important that I have yet to learn.  I have to focus
on else for a little while.  Please give me a day to
digest your last couple of e-mails.  I will then
respond.

Thanks,

Tony Markos
