If you are a lone technical writer, and have nobody who will take
a look at it (and don't have resources to hire another technical
writer), consider hiring an intern from your local college (my
panacea--the cure for all ills!). They're usually cheap or free,
and are a *truly* fresh set of eyes, most likely matching your
lowest common denominator for lack of experience with your
product.
