Re: Writers job description/definition

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

A "major" update of a 725-page document in two months
doesn't necessarily have to be "inhuman" for a two-writer
team where one writer has been on the job for several
years and the second one hired to assist the first has
been on the job for over a year.  Or is management
specifically assigning this all to one writer and instructing
that writer not to delegate any of it to the other writer...?
