Subject:Confession of Ignorance re: anal-retentive From:"Wilcox, John (Contractor)" <wilcoxj -at- WDNI -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 13 Mar 1997 13:35:00 -0800
Hopefully I'm among friends here, so I'm baring my soul:
>> I've followed in the footsteps of a lot of anal-retentive,
annoying tech writers; and I've probably been the anal-retentive,
annoying tech writer that others have had to follow, too. <<
I keep seeing the term anal-retentive. What does it mean? Constipated?
Somehow this just evades my keen problem-solving ability.
