Thank you, Don, for requesting and then sharing Jack
Bonney's explanation of this tech writing survey. Unfortunately, his
explanation is just as murky as his original survey questions.

His assumptions still are derogatory, and his agenda is still obvious.
This is not a research project; how can it be when there isn't even one
objective question in the whole bunch?  He sneeringly maligns the
writers on this list by downgrading our profession, impugning our
educations, and deriding our abilities and judgment.

He also thanked us too soon for our "consideration and assistance;" he's
getting neither from me.
