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.
Just thought I'd point out that we have not heard back from Julie
Nelson, so whether or not we think the response was rude is
irrelevant; what matters is how Julie perceived it. All of the
subsequent responses to the original email seem to ignore the original
request.
OT, I find some individuals on this list can be quite cutting (both
onlist and offlist), which is why the number of posts to which I have
contributed has dwindled significantly over the past seven years or
so. What is the purpose of this list, if a question from a fellow
poster can elicit the response "If you don't know these things, get
some training"?
And to those who advise people to "suck it up", "get over it" or "grow
a thicker skin", is it not possible to just be a bit nicer? After all,
this IS online, and hiring organizations will often "google" someone's
name to see what kind of person an individual is. I know I certainly
do.
