The joke is, I believe: "always published, never read" for a technical writer. I do believe the questionnaire by virture of the word "published" means in traditional terms, meaning trade books, magazines, etc. Before I had a book out through a "publisher" I wrote lots of documentation but would not have called myself published, unless I was specifically speaking of my journalism in newspapers and magazines.

My two cents.

not was one of the questions.

Thanks,
