I've done it once, now twice.
I've used my personal correspondense with David to make a public point. (See
Below.)
Great chatting with you David.
In the final analysis, I think we'll learn we've all BEEN HAD. This is why I
fight so hard. Don't let the money myth contol your wisdom. Illustration is
not a "throw away" trade - any more than professional writing is. Support
your local illustrators. Demand the quality that only professional technical
illustrations bring to good technical documentation. Unite with us, don't
work against us. Recognize us, don't reduce our contribution to the
technical communication trade to the "anybody can do it" status. Thanks.
