RE: Interviewing technical writers

["McLauchlan, Kevin" <Kevin -dot- McLauchlan -at- safenet-inc -dot- com>]

Yes, of course. Everybody's seen that. If not on Wikipedia, 
then on any of a dozen other Q&A sites. The logic is impeccable. 

But that raises the question:  why are there so many SQUARE 
and rectangular manhole covers? (See my links) 

And even more interesting to me, as a cyclist: why are sewer 
and storm-drain gratings always rectangular. Given that they're 
where I have to ride, I can assure anyone that they are also 
frequently driven over by vehicles much larger and heavier 
than me and my bike.
