Dear Viv,
I found a draft DocBook tutorial in my wife's briefcase. I'm a die-hard DITA user. I think she's cheating on me. Should I confront her, or hope it blows over?

Dear Betrayed,
Don't fret, my friend. One of you will discover the true path soon enough.
Yours truly,
Viv
Dear Viv,
If one picture is worth a thousand words, a smile is your umbrella, and diamonds are a girl's best friend, what is online help?

Dear Simile-challenged,
Online help is a shiny red apple. From afar, it looks promising. Close up, you discover it's full of holes.
Yours truly,
