I have recently rejoined Techwr-l after a hiatus of several years. Techwr-l used to be a helpful and cordial list for professional writers. It saddens me to see it degraded, even only in part, into a venue for "censorious persnickety flibbertigibbets".

My
rudimentary
example
of
"knowing
an
audience"
does
not
encompass
*every*
example
of
what
a
writer
needs
to
know
about
an
audience.
There
is
not
enough
bandwidth
to
share
*every*
example
and
other
examples
are
not
"counter-examples"
as
you
state.

The
"model"
I
described
requires
that
the
writer
learn
about
the
audience
and
your
examples
do
not
counter
the
model,
but
they
further
illustrate
issues
that
require
knowing
one's
audience.

...Maybe
your
message
was
intended
to
be
funny,
but
what
it
says
about
your
work
habits
and
creativity
is
a
dispiriting
notion,
indeed.
