Geez, I take a break to get another glass of wine, and...

["Karen E. Black" <kblack_text -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

75 messages on RAS and other topics have popped up on TECHWR-L in 20 
minutes. I had to break (from copy-editing some executive-speak into English 
in a requirements document) for half an hour to read them all.

OK, my question: my boss (not a pubs manager -- the Customer Relationship 
director) has revised the section of the document that I contributed, and 
she has changed all my active sentence constructions to passive. This must 
have been a lot of work, but it doesn't match the style of the rest of the 
document (at least 3 other contributors). How can I cure her passivity? She 
IS my boss, but I AM the writer.

Karen Black, enjoying her red pen almost as much as her red Merlot...to coin 
an RASism
