As a technical content developer, are you the person who designs those
little doodads they put in small plastic bags when I buy a
built-it-yourself piece of furniture?
Hey, how about these possible titles:

---Senior Documentationist

---Technical Documentation Team Leader

---Technical Typologist

---Instructional Information Engineer - This one for those among us who
"really wanted to be engineers".

---Fine Fact Finding Fellows (in the non-gender sense), or 4F for short.
- This one for those among us who would rather be farmers.

I'd offer more, but I have to get to my cubicle at Dilbert's Inferno. This
thread could be fun. A challenge! A prize to the person who creates the
most meaningless title!
