It seems evident to me that many engineers--including many who are in
charge of documentation--do not know what documentation should be
like. Nor do they know that anyone else knows. I interviewed once
at a place that was hiring its first tech writer. The engineer
interviewing me told me, "Now I like Loius L'amor (sp?), but I don't
want any writing like that in my manuals." Sheesh! What does he
think =we= think tech writing is?
