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.
Tina the Tech Writer inspired me to become a tech author (I'm a Brit).
Until I read that cartoon, I had no idea it was even a job! And as it was pretty much the job I was doing at the time, a career was born.
Which saved me from becoming a librarian...

Subject: RE: WOW: 15 Years! Thanks!
Holy cow, it has been a long time. I always thought of myself as a "latecomer," not signing up until 1994.
I still love telling people the story of how Scott Adams visited one day, and how we contributed (accidentally) to the creation of the character Tina the Tech Writer.
More seriously, through the years the list has proven to be a very valuable resource. Got a question? Somebody out there knows the answer.
