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

Cheers Tom,

Otter Creek Stovepipe Porter for me, if you please. I thought the poll
fine, though we do but whine; don't worry about the complaints, ain't
none of us saints; while some can't take the fun, it's fine by some.

Cheers,

Sean

Lauren, I was just having a little fun with the poll, that's all. You'd
be surprised at all the flack I get from polls on my site (like leaving
out Doc to Help in my Tools question). Personally, I see the exercise in
looking more closely at comma placement, but I thought the context
wasn't that ambiguous. Anyway, the poll seemed to offend most people,
including a person who wrote me yesterday at the brink of hysteria that
I even dared to use the word "sellout."

Thanks for visiting my site, and by the way, if you haven't discovered
my newly redesigned social news site, Writer River, check it out at
http://writerriver.com. Sorry for not rhyming my response. Does anyone
have a suggestion for a better poll?

Tom
