The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Couldn't agree more. Instead of *immediately* assuming a rule is there simply because some mindless bureaucrat found it in a fortune cookie, find out the rationale behind it and *then* try to get it changed. You might actually learn something.

Now you may not like those rules. You may not understand the reasons
behind them. You may feel that you're mature and professional enough
that you don't have to follow them. Fine. Ask why those rules are in
place and why you should follow them. But if you just decide
unilaterally that you don't want to follow them, I'm not going to think
you are professional and mature; I'm going to think you are petulant and
childish.
