Subject:Re: Q: When do "editors" get credit? From:John Posada <john -at- TDANDW -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 9 Oct 1998 15:46:37 -0400
Hi, Rowena.
To be honest, I cannot ever remember getting any credit for any
documentation and it doesn't bother me. Besides...I usualy get paid more
than they do, so it balances out. They get the credit and I get the
cash, and everyone knows that cash is always better than credit.
Besides...I'd worry more if the developer didn't want the credit. Think
of it as as compliment that they want their name attributed to your
work.

My opinions are mine, and neither you nor my company can take credit for
them.
