Write on, Bonnie!

I back you up on this. If wanda wants correspondence or to be read at 
all, then any list, not just this one, would best be approached with the 
usual list protocols and etiquette, involving a certain amount of 
concern for being readable, and respect for public/private responses.

I read wanda's portrayal of can-do tech writers being crushed by 
pressure, working at a depth too deep, and I was moved by the overall 
effect--it was like video from a deep-sea ROV exploring a shipwreck-- 
too late to be helped, no advice sought, just ... documenting.

I imagine the point of sending the original to the list was catharsis.
