pace (RE: "taboo engineering techniques" (RE: Modularization of Documentation))

["Kevin Cole" <kccole -at- fuse -dot- net>]

Hello Tony,

Clearly I stepped in a cowpie here, which I deeply regret.  Please consider
my remarks as having been withdrawn.  I don't want anyone fighting with
anyone over something which I (characteristically) misunderstood.  I meant
no offense. Peace to you all.

John:

What you are saying is not true.  I have NOT by my own intitiative declared
the topic taboo.  I was very specifcically told that the topic is taboo -
and
everyone on the listserv was copied on this.   I am
NOT now going to throw out names.

As far as my reaction to "flack", I have been told more that once that I am
a very strong person to be able to withstand the attacks of people.
(Basically, I just tell them that I just consider the source.)

The main skill in TWing is skill in structured writing.  And as Charles Horn
says on the Infomapping web site, "structured writing is really all about
analysis".
