Re: Honestly -- when an SME completely REWRITES your text ... GEEZ!

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

It can go even beyond that.  I have had experiences
where draft functional descriptions provided by SMEs
had to be vetted and cut down because they contained 
enough technical IP to enable a sufficiently knowledgeable 
reader to reverse-engineer the product from them.
