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

["Lauren" <lauren -at- writeco -dot- net>]

I take it from the recent poll question that the Tom Johnson does not value
technical writing very much.  From the phrasing of his poll questions, I
take it that he does not value clear writing very much.  I thought his site
was supposed to be supportive of writing.  I guess not.

Oh, dang!  I forgot to invoke Leonard's rule of rhyming...

>From the recent poll question,
of this writing bastion;
Tech write appreciate,
clear write substantiate;
Tom Johnson does not,
contradicting what I thought.
