Rather than cry about a lack of respect, I carry the attitude that I don't
give a damn if the SMEs respect me or not. We both have jobs to do and mine
is to produce the best documentation I can with the information that is
provided or uncovered by sleuthing. However, I also have a heavy hardware
and software background and I am always joking around, which makes it easier
to overcome pettiness. Being able to switch from being slightly arrogant to
slightly humble also helps. It keeps them guessing.
