TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

Wow, talk about stretching a point! What I originally said was:
"As a recruiter, I **always** check postings and archives when hiring.
On the assumption that the rude ones would give my clients a hard time,
I don't consider them. Maybe if this rejection is repeated by other
employers, it just makes them more bitter and rude...."
I wonder where Mike got the idea my clients ask me to send them a
"writer who may suck?"
My point is, none of my clients would want to hire someone who writes
flaming material. If that's a sample of their professional writing
ability (and I, as a recruiter, have a right to consider it such),
then my clients will likely have no need for them.
