I am currently conducting a feasibility study over telecommuting from the
Lubbock, Texas area. As part of my research phase I am conducting a survey of
technical writers. I would appreciate any responses, but please send them
directly to me, in order to reduce traffic on the listserve. Please list
"survey" in your subject line for any responses. Thank you for all your help
