Subject:What is a tech writer From:"John Posada (work account)" <posada -at- FAXSAV -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 7 Nov 1997 14:48:47 -0500
Just a side comment.
I was at a cocktail party last night and when I be asked what I do and
tell them I'm a tech writer, I was asked 3-4 times "What is a tech
writer".
My response was "A tech writer is someone who writes things in a way so
that it can only mean one thing."
It was amazing how each time I said that (3 or 4 times), it was if a
lightbulb went on in their heads. At least I thought it was kinda
weird.
