Re: Estimation of the number of pages to be written per day

Gene:

While I totally agree with you, there is an old TW
saying: "Great technical communications is so simple
and straight forward (and short), they (management)
will wonder what took you so long."  Unfortunately,
this is still true with many - or most - managers; and
therefore many a TW, whether he/she admits it or not,
feels compelled to strive for high page counts.

Page count per work period is a terrible
metric for writer productivity because it tends to
encourage the creation of documents with higher page
