Yup:
I'd go talk with this moron tomorrow, and not smack him, just run through
the document and provide feedback. You might express surprise that he
attached your name to the E-mail he sent out. I wouldn't go off the deep
end, though, unless this happens often AND you are ready to jump ship,
mainly because doing so will not help you do your job, now or in the future.
Best regards,

I think I'll send him back a note that
says...
"Other than the inconsistency of tense, gross overuse of passive
voice,
unnecessarily large words, technical jargon, sentences that should
be broken
into *paragraphs*, and stressing the unimportant details over the
major
improvements, yea... it's fine!" What would you do? </snip>
