New TECHWR-L Poll - ADD

["Lisa M. Bronson" <lisa -at- techwr-l -dot- com>]

A tech writer friend and I were talking about ADD (Attention Deficit
Disorder) the other day and that several tech writers we know have it. For
some, it works to their advantage. Others find it to be a disadvantage. Is
this a trend among tech writers? Is it a career that people with ADD are
drawn to?

So, this week's poll question is:

Does ADD have an effect on your ability to work as a technical writer:
It has a positive effect - think multitask!
It has a negative effect - too many distractions
I... oh, look at that pretty shiny object!
ADD?! Everyone has that!
I do not have ADD
Other/None of the above

As always, feel free to discuss this poll on the email list. However, make
sure you keep it focused on technical communication.

Thank you!
