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.

ROTFLMAO! (It's only funny because I know they are
married and are on the younger side.)

...unless you have something worth-while to add that
hasn't already been mentioned.
> 7. Keep a sense of humor and irony.
Don't forget humility and patience!

THAT is debateable...

THAT is true...

D'oh!

You're involved by default, Brian! You started it!
*lol*
Seriously though, if you know you have a
highly-opinionated comment to make, think twice about
sending it to the entire list. Try to reply to sender
in these cases. Your asbestos underoos will last
longer that way. ;)
