(commenting about Tony Markos frequent discussions
about Data Flow Diagrams):

I can only repeat...I am strongly reminded when you
discuss DFDs of the "when your only tool is a hammer,
all problems look like nails" formulation.

Tony Markos:

DFDs are FAR from being my only tool! To imply such
is NOT true!

They ARE, workwise, what I am most passionate about.
And passion means purpose! Too many TWs that I
personally know lack purpose; they do a little bit of
this and a little bit of that - and not alot of
anything.

Err, by the way David, what are you passionate about -
what makes YOU unique as a Technical Writer?
