>>However, do we cater for emotions in Tech Writing?<<
Depends on the audience. I wrote web content for a travel-related
website once and was allowed to have a much more liberal style, but it
still wasn't really emotional writing.
On the whole, I'd say tech writing was emotionless. I don't think that
has to mean that it is dry, although I suppose that comes down to the
individual's interpretation.

Excellent responses!
However, do we cater for emotions in Tech Writing? I am of the beleif
that it is the dryest most unemotional form of writing possible, with
(in an ideal environment) VERY strict grammer and style rules, akin to
the structures and strictures of formal programming...
