RE: Levels of Job Responsibility

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

You're a technical communicator, I'm a QA Manager*, and Craig's a
technical writer. In my opinion, none of those terms is more correct for
any single one of us. But BLS picked "technical writer" not to describe
a single person, but rather to describe the whole lump of us. That's why
STC's request was denied.

Thanks,
