There is a lot of writing that communicates very little in the way of genuine knowledge. <chuckle> I agonised for a while over this. Is being a technical communicator part of being a writer, or is being a writer part of being a technical communicator? I don't think I want to argue that hard. :-) Somewhere there's a better description of what we do, and someday someone will stumble over it. In the meantime, I'll just keep on doing it.
