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.
Here's something positive. Each of us has a good reason for spending some
time preparing emergency kits for our cars--no matter what climate you live
in. At the very least, get a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher for your
car. Find out what local authorities recommend for your climate or
environment.
These tragedies happen every year. It took a celebrity getting in trouble to
really get people thinking about the problem. While we mourn, we also need
to learn from others' mistakes and misfortunes. Don't waste the opportunity.

It applies on a lesser scale too; I wonder how many tech support people
out there have spent hours trying to solve problems caused by people

At times I wonder why I bust a gut producing documentation nobody's ever
going to read, or believe if they do...
