Abstract
The author examines the classical notion of persona (the role adopted by the writer) as a term useful in analyzing technical documents. It isolates rhetorical strategies that are components of the user-friendly persona and briefly speculates on the usefulness of those strategies given the interactive relationship between the writer and the audience.
