RE: Finding errors in manuals

["Melissa Nelson" <melmis36 -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

I have definitely sang the "I am not perfect blues" before...know all the 
words by heart! Fortunately, my manuals get QA'ed here and then QA'ed at the 
customer's, but even then an error has made it through to the final manual 
and it gets entered as a bug. Whatever happens, I just suck it up and fix 
it. :)

Don't worry too much about singing those blues..heck if you need a refresher 
on the words..just let me know! :-)
