laughing my ASS off!

Okay - I've been an Society for Technical Communication (STC) member for quite a while now and I think it's a good, solid, professional organization. That said, this article is HYSTERICAL!!! Remember, this is a society dedicated to communication - albeit technical communication - but communication nonetheless. Wouldn't you think the people involved would have SOME idea about how to communicate? Do we need a primer on what's involved in networking? Shouldn't any person in a position of responsibility in a professional organization have *some* idea what needs to be done?

Admitted, engineers and programmers are somewhat interactionally challenged and maybe this would be helpful to them. But people who are expected to conduct interviews, usability testing, audience reviews, and a myriad of other people-related activities? The scary thing is, there are probably many people that do.... LOLOLOL Thanks jneal for bringing this to my attention!
