Disagree of course :-)
Steve Krug: Dont make me think
One of the major problems with tech writing is an issue the ASTC NSW westies
group is banging its head on right now. No-one reads the stuffy old books so
everyone has their own ideas on how to do and there is little certification
or recognition of standardised material.
This being the case, I wonder why we bother persevering with:
standards
university curriculi
ASTC newsletters
websites
etc

No stuffy, dust-gathering style manual can give you what you can always get
from your own diligent and personal research into your readers.
