Sorry I have lost somehow the thread name, but quote:
.. not to equate expert knowledge of software tools with proficiency in
technical writing."
I just could not agree any more woth the above, granted: tools are
important ans as they improve so does our work, but no toll can replace
the ability to communicate an idea completely, clearly, concisely etc..
I presume tools will get even better, next thing we may be able to
really talk instead of tapping the hated keyboards, who knows maybe next
telepathy will replace all else - still no replacement for "cogito ergo
sum".
That cannot be replaced by any tool, lucky for us..
