...The hard part was coming up with what to call the position:
SuperSenior
TW (would you like to Super Size that?), Master TW (would we
need a Mistress TW to be equal opportunity?), Head TW (for a variety
of reasons, I didn't want to go there). So it ended up being
Lead.
Frankly, I don't put a lot of stock in titles, but your thumb rules
for delineating
what you expect of different levels of TWs sounds very reasonable to
me.

Actually, working with this guy, he technically goes by the title of
Lead Technical Writer---but INSISTS on those below him (yeah, that's
just me) that he be called `Dokumentationfuehrer.' No humility
there, folks... <g>
