Folks,
This is a fascinating discussion, but it has pretty obviously developed
into two schools of thought that will never agree.
Here's my 0.02. For whatever it's worth.
About five years ago, a previous techwriter at the company I was
contracting at submitted a manual to the STC and won an award for it. I
submitted excerpts from said manual to the old CoreComm Bad Technical
Writing Contest and won an Honorable Mention. Need I say more?
