Another problem would be maintaining confidentiality of trade secrets when
discussing technical subjects in a mailing list (they discuss that very
scenario in new employee orientation here).
I've seen a mailing list specifically for writers in the semiconductor
industry, but the archives were a ghost town (5 messages since it was
started in July 1999). I figured everybody was too afraid of posting
something that they shouldn't, and that was the same reason I decided not to
subscribe.

Bruce, I think you just accidentally made the point I was going to make.
Yes, these are important concerns in YOUR daily working day. Not mine. Most
of them don't affect me at all. And I have my own daily concerns that don't
affect you in the slightest. You work in a specialized area. I work in a
specialized area. We all have our own niche.
