Do TWs need to be formally educated in engineering and science? was, RE: old school

[Beth Agnew]

My response to the subject line is Definitively No. But this tends to 
devolve into the old argument, and I've already camped on the 
No-you-don't-need-to-be-an-engineer-to-be-a-techwriter side, with no 
desire to resume lobbing thought bombs toward any folks who happen to be 
on the Yes side.

With all due respect, Leonard, your comments were valid, but I suspect 
this is one more issue that generates more heat than light, and probably 
already takes up too much space in the archives.
