I have to agree with this one. Without some occasional humor and satire,
this list wouldn't be worth much.

Is that really necessary. After enduring endless discussions,
month
after month, about the merits of using one or two periods, Mr.
Plato's
posts are the only ones that I read on a regular basis. I
appreciate his
no nonsense approach. I too have encountered employers that, for
good
reason, have a very poor opinion of technical writers in
general. I have
also worked for companies that tossed the resume of anyone
proclaiming
membership in STC as a matter of policy.
