However...while that may be true in the government and ivory tower

I'm a federal computer systems programmer doing other duties as assigned --
technical writing, particularly Internet/Intranet design/editing/writing.

Like my friend, Beverly, I think you doth protest too much out of ignorance. Our
agency (the programming arm of the Navy Supply Corps) has several hundred
programmers; all do their own documentation and have done so for years. This
agency has never had, nor probably never will, a person officially categorized
as a "technical writer."

Per my response to her, that part was  toung un cheek.  Some of the hardest
working writers I know work in the government sector.
