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.
That's stretching things to the point of hyperbole....

Michael:
What most Technical Writers do is document procedure.
Unfortunatly, knowledge of essential company procedure
is turf - and people will defend their turf to the
death. Such turf battles is what most organizational
politics is really about.
Soooo, if our job is to document procedure -
especially essential procedure, we must learn to
thrive on politics.
