TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
You have now essentially stated that you do not follow industry standards, nor do you have any interest in relating your methodology to an industry standard so that the rest of us can understand why you think your methodology is better than industry standards. So, you refuse to support any claim that you make about your methodology. Unsupported claims are not valid claims. Therefore, your claims about the methodology that you use are invalid.
You also, for some unknown reason, have taken my comment to wawelsmok, the OP, about the OP's original question, to be something about you, which it is not. The world existed before you got here and it will continue after you are gone. The OP's question in the original "Unique Documentation" post that you pseudo-answered with your re-hashed tangent is still unanswered. The OP did not ask you specifically for unique documentation, the question was asked of the forum. The OP's question should be more specific to get better answers than your pointless defensiveness about the valid discussions that occur on this forum. If you want to know the question, then read the first post.
You should also understand that becoming defensive when somebody disagrees with you is unprofessional. Further, becoming combative when people ask you to support your arguments is simply childish.

If someon asked me a question, I am at a loss as to what it is. If the people who swore in emailing me or who in any way implied a false acqusations about me asked me a question, they are not going to get an answer.
