RE: Somewhat OT: Tech Writers vs. other writers

["GeneK" <gene -at- genek -dot- com>]

It's difficult enough writing for engineers and managers 
who used to be engineers who don't know what's required 
to produce a good tehnical document (and this is often 
true even if you're a writer like me who used to be an 
engineer); the idea of having to write for a dept head or 
manager who doesn't even have that much real world product
development experience is a damned scary concept.
