Re: Tech-Reading vs. Other Reading
Not at all what I was saying. Reading tech stuff for work (or otherwise)
does not affect my PLEASURE in reading non-tech stuff, but it does affect my
reading SPEED (negatively) and my ability to retain what I read
(positively). I read *and* write non-tech stuff for pleasure... but for me,
one type of reading definitely affects others. The fact that other people
may experience this differently is what makes horseraces.
Actually, your post hadn't even arrived in my mailbox when I wrote. I was responding to the orginal poster.

"And we fit in your landscape as
Our six to your five senses
And the pastures close and the traveller knows
That the world's cut up by fences
To catch the gypsy."
- Ralph McTell, "Gypsy Song"
