Join the club! This is my experience as well -- just hit with it AGAIN last week --
"have you built a site that takes Credit Cards" ... "no, but I've worked with firewall
security and the skills and issues are similar. <wrong answer>
"we're looking for a technical editor" -- I write HTML, tweak Perl and JavaScript, am
conversant with wintel, Mac and UNIX, write Cold Fusion apps [and do motorcycle
maintenance <g>] .... and have a journalism degree. "We want someone with more
technical experience."
