Writer Wrath

[mythteller]

For the record, I am *not* a fucking typesetter. My job is more than just copying text from one source, pasting it into another, and making it *pretty*. When I am documenting a new feature, I pull the information from multiple sources, rewrite and restructure that information, draw up the illustrations, and I test every single procedure to make sure it works the way it's supposed to.

Unfortunately, this tends to reveal flaws in the code that people would rather no one see. So when I start barking up the trees, trying to get answers, the frightened little engineers either scurry away or they try to dismiss my concerns by saying "Don't you worry about it. Nobody reads that section anyways." *twitch*

I haven't been here long enough to be able to rumble the earth by putting my foot down, but that day is coming, let me tell you.

I look forward to hearing stories of the day when you put some weight behind this point. (I have a couch you can crash on if it goes south...)
