Thanks for the confidence John, 

Sometimes plain good is enough, not everyone has to be the Miles Davis of technical writing.

France...with only enough practice, you could be superb at reading music and
making the right sounds come out of the instrument. However, without the
inclination to being a musician (which cannot be taught), you'll never be
Charlie Parker or Miles Davis and you could practice the scales from now
until the year 2010, and you'll never be Placido Domingo.  

Keith...what do you think of this?

To be good mechanically at something, practice will get you there, To be
great at it, you need an internal ability.

That's all I'm saying about techwriting...you can get enough education to
give you the ability to craft a perfectly composed paragraph...but without
the internal ability, you won't create a special deliverable. 

...or have I gotten threads mixed up?
