Mr Wagner, this might be seen as interesting.  My memory is, admittedly, 
porous, but I cannot recall many times in the past where you've made 
reference to 'techie' reaction to writing as 'unprofessional'.  Then I saw

a posting from you with Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2008 01:19:11 -0600, saying:

--begin quoted text:

Last week I wrote a Business Requirement document that deliberately 
avoided industry jargon. I wrote it in such plain language that anyone 
could understand it. My colleagues thought it unprofessional.

--end quoted text

.... and next you posted the above about 'some techie shops' less than an 
hour later (Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2008 02:13:37 -0600).

Posting-time-to-posting-time it seems to have taken you fifty-four 
minutes, twenty-six seconds to expand an unique occurence from your own 
experience to what would be done in 'some techie shops'; some might wonder

how many more minutes it would take you to extrapolate from 'some techie 
shops' to 'the COBOL world'.
