Brickin' A, Chief. Technical writers is what we is and what we does. I've
worked in organizations where a "Documentation Specialist" slot existed
mainly for summer interns who stuffed binders -- where I am now, they've
tried to saddle me with that sobriquet and I'm resisting as protocol allows.

Nomenclature is destiny. Ever heard of a little town in southern Poland
called Oswiecim? No? OK, how about its old name from when it was part of
Austria...Auschwitz?

Just my thoughts...all hands don flameproof gear now.
