Single-sourcing DIDN'T work for me just now

["Downing, David" <DavidDowning -at- Users -dot- com>]

Here's an anecdote for all you folks who don't like single-sourcing.  I'm currently writing a manual to document some software for which I wrote online help awhile back.  So, I got the idea to recycle the text from the online help for part of the manual.  After copying all the little chucks of text, which involved different secondary windows for different situations, and various other sort of multi-directional hypertext branching, then trying to organize this into a narrative passage suitable for a manual, I finally decided it was going to take me forever and give me a royal headache, so that I should just write the text from scratch, as it should be written for a manual.
