[ARCHIVED THREAD] - And the best techincal writer award goes to..............

Campybob!!!

After several years of using Bob's talents to help develop, test, evaluate our products I begged, conned, bribed Bob to write the instructions for our new gas piston installation.

Our instructions were..... Well frankly lame.
1. screw/break off old piston.
2. screw/weld on new piston.

We at RSA felt we needed more so we turned to the most trusted guy we knew with a spell checker type writer and now the rest is history. Check our forum if you want to see them. They soon will be posted with photos to the web.

So... did he actually use capital letters?

Zing!

I'm confused

WHY ARE THESE KIND OF DIRECTIONS ALWAYS IN CAPITAL LETTERS?

Campy and I, we be what you call capitalists....so we use capital letters.

If Campy had added photos to go with each step it would have made things clearer.

No, that's where you're wrong. Campy doesn't use capital letters.

How about:

1. drink a beer.
2. screw/break off old piston.
3. swear at the Century monkeys for screwing up the installation of a gas piston.
4. drink a beer.
5. swear at the Century monkeys some more.
6. drink a beer.
7. screw/weld on new piston.
8. finish off the six pack.

I can't wait to see what Campy has to say, though I'm sure he'll work in the words "dial calipers" somewhere in the instructions.
