atw: Re: Process Vs Procedure

I think you should process the procedures by proceeding to process the
process of procedure processing (sorry about that but I just wanted to share
it :)).
Anyway, when I was a tacker, I was taught a process gave an overview and
procedures showed the individual steps.

Cheers.
