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.
This is unprofessional and completely uncalled for. Bring the conversation
back to technical communication and write respectfully, in a professional
manner.
An abridged set of rules follows.

happen to us and our way of discerning reality. We need you so much and
we are so grateful that you are helping us see the light. I am just
bursting with the desire to tell you how I really feel, but this is
e-mail, and I can't really do it properly.

>>
>
