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.

Right. There is no marcomwr-l community. You won't catch many
marcom mavens e-mailing valuable professional advice out into
the public domain. It's a field where reward is less based on
any provable merit than in technical writing, so the politicking
is fierce and continuous.
But I'm sure there are exceptions, of course, and as Brecht said,
sometimes our mission is to redefine the exception as the rule
and the rule as the exception.
