Philosophy texts are far drier than
manuals for products.
At least the people who read my stuff
don't want to kill themselves after
making the effort (I hope).
But I guess you are writing manuals
for accounting. ;)

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...
