Andrew, I can assure you your agenda is anything but hidden. ;-) There
are bad "technical" technical writers and there are bad "non technical"
technical writers. I'm sure you could easily gather many horror stories
about each. Will the stories about bad "techies" and good "non techies"
also be included in your special project?
