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.

you're not the only one who follows it), rewrite his piece to match the
departmental style. Alternatively, revise *your* piece to include any
content he might have added. Make sure everyone knows that he helped you
out."

result.
"7. Is your furniture still on Craigslist? :-)"
No. That mishap finally made me remember to delete the ad.
