As a professional anal-retentive (anal retentive) technical writer, I find
the above post a poor example of technical writing.

I found many grammar mistakes in this post. There was no introduction, no
conclusion, and no summary.

I had to read the post twelve times before I came to the conclusion that it
may be some type of joke.

This post not only wastes bandwidth, it was a waste of my very important
time (although it was funny).

I should not have to take twenty minutes out of my highly over-paid job time
to read and respond to this post.

Shame on Marci; no pudding tonight.

Please! Lets stay on topic (like this post). My time is too important.


-Barry, the simply fabulous technical writer.
