Hi Chris,

Kudos on your initiative!

>From the post: "Originally a bizarre hybrid between psychologist,
journalist, and instructor, the technical writer compiled scattered
notes written by engineers and converted them into manuals that normal
people could read and understand. This allowed the product-buying public
to use technology with which they had no familiarity."

Except for the tech writers who never wrote manuals, or the ones who had
nothing to do with the product-buying public. I hope you find a place
for them in your discourse, because they still exist!

Happy Tuesday,

Dan
