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.
Maybe I am missing something, but I don't see where asking this kind of
question is asking others to do the research or to solve the problem. Is
asking for the help of a librarian having someone do your work for you? Or
is it just a part of the process of doing your research? Is asking if
someone knows of a good book, paper, website, etc., on a particular subject
asking someone else to do their work for them?
I see nothing in the original post that suggests that Shelly was asking
someone else to do the research, just asking others to point down the
appropriate aisle.
