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.

Bill forgot (????) to mention that he is an ADMIN of another tech
communicator's list. Note that "fostering a sense of community" is a code
that means "allowing unlimited OT postings including personal messages
between list members". On some days *all* the posts on Bill's list are OT.
While I was a member of it for a few weeks, I can't remember a day when even
20% of the posts were on topic. Few of its members seemed to have any work
to do, and they were obnoxious and discriminatory to newbies. (Which might
be one reason why so few on topic issues were ever posted to it.)
