Even though it ruffles your feathers, he's right.  This list does not involve 
your work as an editor and writer any more than it involves mine as a software 
engineer and writer or that of the OP as a medical doctor and writer.  It's 
about Framemaker.  

If you want a forum where you can discuss your other topics, why not create one?

readers are not technical writers? Then who do you think is using
FrameMaker? I'm interested in this discussion because it involves my
work as an editor and writer. And just to add my .02 on this, it's

Have to agree absolutely.  As a potential consultant recently pointed out, 
engineers (indeed scientists in general) haven't studied how to use language as

my American friends).
