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.
A couple of days ago Arlen Walker posed a question:
"I wonder, *do* lurkers make this list valuable?"
We lurkers are part of the audience for all you frequent posters. Doesn't
that have value?
I get the digest and find that most questions are answered and most
threads have grown "threadbare" by the time I read them. But I do READ
them. I enjoy some of the dialogs, learn new things, and participate when
I feel I have something to add. If everyone posted regularly, the
discussions might be dynamic and fascinating, but the volume of mail would
be overwhelming.
I'm happy to spend most of my time in the audience.
Another lurker's 2 cents...
