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.
Welcome to the IWU (Ignored Writers Union). I've been a proud member of
the Venus local chapter since 1884. :-)
As others have pointed out, why complain to an email list? Complain (I
mean, *discuss it with*) the people who are driving you insane. Or with
your manager (especially if s/he is also driving you insane.) If that
doesn't work, try an electric cattle prod. They work great.
