I guess this thread is wearing thin (ha ha... Ehhh)

And I don't think Richard was daft enough to think that picking one makes
the other unimportant. We all know our profession deals in shades of grey,
so it boggles me why so many people are having such a difficult time dealing
with this.

We all know that good writing is part of our profession. We all know that
accurate technical content is part of our profession. No-one is argue
against that.

I guess this comes back to the point about our profession being 'art'.
Sometimes it can be real hard to see the subtle variations in light...

Anyway, it's Friday. Where are the funnies?!

Gordon

Did anybody "just pick one?" Between two choices, only one can be "more
important," but picking one of them doesn't make the other
*unimportant.* We don't write like first graders because we think technical
accuracy is a nose ahead.
