Not to single out any particular post or poster, but we seem to have wandered
far afield from the original question.

More to MY point in this post, we seem to be making the case of those who claim
that most Tech Writers are worthless because they obsess about fonts.

In fact, if Eric & Deb ever wanted to add a topic to take off the list, *I*
would nominate the topic of fonts. So far, I have not seen ONE study or ONE
cintilla of evidence to support the use of one font, font type, font family
over another. Eventually, we are all reduced to saying, "Because I like it."
