Would that there was another way, eh? But fuzzy is the way topics play 
out on a multi-generational, partly political, somewhat official, 
marginally professional, mildly recreational free list populated by a 
questionable cross section of internet-active pen pals whose opinions 
may be even less relevant to tech writing than the posts are to their 
subjects.

Anyway, I think the point has become how to keep tech writing tech 
writing while the tech communicators market to their natural range of 
markets, and some of our employers show a talent for finding other sorts 
of work to occupy us.

OK, no one would guess that from the subject line.
