Techwriters,
First of all let me say that if any of you disagree with what I am
about to say, please address your remarks to my personal email

Technical writing NEEDS certification. This is the only way that we
will OFFICIALLY be able to let people know who we are and what
we do.
Sincerely,
Roger Peterson
