I don't understand your reaction. There were only 3 questions out of
the 15 that could even potentially begin to be "degrading" to a
technical writer.
I don't know. Maybe I have a different perspective than others might,
because I feel I am a strong, valuable member to the teams I work
on, and I've *never* been treated like a secretary (well, except when
I was one :)
