RE: What is the maturity level of your publication process?

You know, it says "Oven Roasted Turkey" on my can of mechanically separated
meats. Just because they don't call it SPAM doesn't mean it ain't SPAM!

It looks like your value proposition is that we fill out a fun survey and
you then point us to some advertising that is highly targeted. Feh.

In response to the question of spamming...

I don't think a free analysis tool is spam. On the contrary, the quiz was
done as a service to the technical communication community. May be my title
is misleading but I am a technical communicator with many years of
experience. I learned a lot from JoAnn Hackos book about managing
documentation processes, and found there answers to real cases I discovered
through my career.

JoAnn Hackos book is one of the most popular books among technical
communicators (and I do not sell her books.) I asked JoAnn to contribute an
article about IPMM, that was originally published through the STC, so no one
has to rush and buy her book.

The quiz is anonymous and we are not asking anything in return.

I don't think those who commented put enough thought into the message. You
are still welcome to take the quiz.

Thank you,

Yigal
