Hey, LaVonna! How about right here on the list, to start? Aren't we
candidates for "the best contract writers"? And a lot of us can
telecommute, so who cares that we are from all over?
BTW, whenever I see the phrase "contract writer," I think of another
kind of contract. When you're a contract writer, does that mean that
you're being paid to kill the subject being documented by writing about
it? Oooh. Murder by documentation. I love it.
