No sympathy wanted. And the assumption that tech writers who want to focus on
writing don't want to know anything about DTP is incorrect. Personally, I'm
known as a DTP guru in my circles. I just think that DTP can add value and do
NON-WRITING tasks that remove barriers to writers delivering a quality
product. See my post titled "Using production people..."
