I absolutely agree!
(being somewhat a Sybil myself in nearly every job I've ever held)

The last time I checked, I WAS the editor, desktop publisher, help producer,
and designer... And the curriculum developer, and the assistant webmaster,
the company's MS Office guru, and a sometimes QA analyst and Business
analyst... And even the evil marcomm expert. I LIKE it that way.  So the
ideal situation for you, wouldn't necessarily work for other people.

There are a lot of us with the title "technical writer" who do not believe
that writing should be isolated from the rest of the communication
process... Or product development strategy... Or industry expertise. And
that's one of the reasons  "technical writer" has become such a misleading
job title.  We even wrote that up in my last review!

If surrounded myself people in all necessary supporting roles, they'd be
calling me "Sybil"
