RE: Poll: Is technical writing a sellout or fallback career?

["Leonard C. Porrello" <Leonard -dot- Porrello -at- SoleraTec -dot- com>]

Lauren said, "... "or" implies both "either one and not the other of"
and "any of."  Logically and generally, "or" is excludes one option from
the other, unless the option of "both" is included."

Not always. I read the question in a Boolean light.
