RE: Typing Requirement in a Tech Writing Ad - How to respond?

[John Posada <JPosada -at- book -dot- com>]

I think this goes back to the ask for everything you want and you may get
it...you get noting if you don't ask.

I don't see anything wrong with including typing wpm in the requirements...I
WISH I could type 120 wpm...shoot, I wish I could type 40 wpm. If I were
hiring someone and they said BTW, I type 120 wpm, would it be a + on their
list? Sure.

In responding to the adv., I wouldn't NOT respond because I cannot type an
advanced rate...it might not do me any good anyway...I can't THINK faster
than 20 wpm anyway.
