atw: Re: meltdowns, inspiration and motivation

Given that Steve had trouble maintaining a working computer I presented what I 
thought to be some factual information about one way of maintaining effective 
hardware for technical writing.  

I had thought that there might be some people on this list that might have 
found the information of benefit.

What is the function of this list?  Is it to provide resources and information 
to technical writers or is it for whinging and personal abuse?

  Steve could be caustic, opinionated, bull-headed and prickly - traits with 
which you can identify, I do not doubt (Damian Forlani-Brennan).  He was also 
the first in line to help a mate and offer assistance to anyone on this list.  
He frequently contributed to the discussion and his advise and counsel will be 
missed, as will his unorthodox sense of humor.

  There was no "hidden" message - the evolution to meltdown was glaringly 
obvious to anyone capable of more than skimming across the surface like a water 
spider. Your inability to decipher cause and effect, even when it is pointed 
out to you, may not serve you well in the long run and I enthusiastically 
recommend sudoku to stimulate your skill at connecting the dots in more than 
one narrow direction.  Empathy is another matter altogether, and short of a 
strong dose of clinically administered ecstasy, I doubt there is much that can 
be done in that quarter.  Assuming that you may need help with a bona fide 
cryptic reference, see  http://ecstasy.org/books/e4x/e4x.ch.10.html and

     I am well familiar with the landscape in which we work (thank you very 
much Christine Kent) and re-reading Steve's post failed to reveal any hidden 
messages.  I don't often have much to add to the discussion, but there are 
times you just have to respond.  I stand by my previous post.  
     
    Looking forward to my time finally coming :)
