Hi,

I've just recently finished a user guide. I've sent it out for review, and I
have reviewed and edited it many times myself, but I am at a point where I
can no longer spot my mistakes. What do you do when there is no one to read
your stuff, and they still want to push out the docs anyway without a proper
review.

I feel (sorry David) that they are going to come back to me and nail me for
mistakes, even though they know that there wasn't a proper review. I have
worked for employers in the past that expected perfection. I realize that
this concept is not realistic, but it's still very prominent.

Am I making sense? Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks,

Wade
