0709 -
070901 - Follow up work at ref SDS 7 line 32.
070902 -
070903 - We needed a better explanation of "Report" to distinguish it from
070904 - traditional writing letters and memos.

071301 - Line 256 - Reporting, added explanation that writing in SDS eliminates
071302 - paperwork and documents, which seems to be the main source of
071303 - resistance to using SDS.  People equate writing in SDS with their
071304 - experience of writing "documents."   We explain under "Objections"
071305 - that this experience does not apply, and refer to the section at line
071306 - 256 on "Reporting" for support, ref SDS 7 line 44.
071307 -
071308 - Made more plain the idea that writing in SDS is different from conven-
071309 - tional business writing, in that its intent is to convert information
071310 - into knowledge, supported by Jeromy Campbell's book at ref SDS 1 line
071311 - 135, rather than inform, protect and attack, which is the conventional
071312 - notion of business writing.
