<rant>... that good writers (Technical or otherwise) are folks whose
talents are sorely needed.

My head hurts from the last two days spent copy-editing someone else's
work. Not just a comma here, or a misspelled word there, but complete
rewrites of sentences just to make them READABLE. Makes me wonder if
this prose was written by a computer somewhere in Canada ...</rant>






"Finding the answer, it's a human obsession. But you might
as well talk to the stones and trees and the sea,
'Cause nobody knows,
And so few can see."

-from "Estonia" by Marillion
