Frustration, Automated- I used to

Frustration, Automated- I used to be a technical writer. I left the field for many reasons (although it keeps following me).

Tech writing is a field that engenders intense fussiness; it's detail-oriented in a way that I'm just not. Now, I've been writing in one form or another most of my adult life, and I'm used to having things I write handed back to me for corrections - but never more than when I was a technical writer, when I had managers/editors hand me documents with revisions, which I'd enter - and then get the same document back with a call for things to be re-revised back to the way they were before.

I've maintained a subscription to a tech writing mailing list for years, even though I've left the field. I haven't posted anything to the list in at least five years.

Last night, I posted something.

This morning, an autobot on the mailing list bounced my post back...

...until I corrected something in my post.

Grrr.
