The thread is generally saying don't leave your writing samples with an
interviewer, cuz' they may do wicked things with them. So what does this
mean with regards to tech writers who maintain their own website that
contains an electronic portfolio of their work? Is that a not-recommended
thing?
(was just about to buckle down over the next couple months and build my
online portfolio/website, but now am wondering if that is a bad idea...)
