Re: Writing Corrective Actions for customers?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

There is certainly nothing wrong with a contractor choosing
to turn down a contract, or choosing not to do a particular
kind of work.  The difference is between "I don't do that
type of work" and "what kind of underhanded trick are
you trying to pull on me, that's not proper work for a
technical writer," as voiced by several posters in this
thread. If the distinction between these two attitudes is
not immediately evident, we'll just have to agree never
to discuss potential contracts in the future.
