In such writing, the writer deliberately, carefully removes him- or herself, getting out of the way so the message can have center stage and consume the reader’s full attention. Writing that plays to our emotions is out of place in such a context; we need to get on with the operation. Good technical writing is sleek as polished steel. It is the essence of message, from which all fingerprints have been wiped clean.",
