For me, the STC could be a non-Internet way of bouncing ideas off my
peers, as I am a solo tech writer. It is also a place where I can enjoy
presenting the stuff I know. And, this year, it has been a place where I
learn what my peers are up to, documentation-wise--a good way to measure
myself--via the competition.

Subject: The Value of STC
Steve Arrants asked:
"What value, then does the STC provide? Frankly, beyond the
online job listings, I don't really *see* much value. Is the STC
irrelevant?"
Even though I'm an active member of the STC, I think that's a very fair
question. Any STC member who is "offended" by that question is too
sensitive, in my humble opinion.
What value does the STC provide? Well, you can read their "official"
