I've seen this rant before, and I am still left wondering.... why would the STC have sessions that addressed technical topics?
Well, to start with:
- Because people might like a chance to hear about topics they're curious about or only mildly interested in.

- Because more technical knowledge makes tech-writers more employable, and helps them to do their jobs better.

- Because no specialty conference approaches technical subjects from the particular viewpoint of writers.

- Because the writing and management topics are limited, and were exhausted a long, long time ago.

- Because there's a demand (as this thread shows).

"I respect kindness to human beings first of all, and kindness to animals. I don't respect the law; I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer."
-Brendan Behan
