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.
When I got one, long ago, the questions included membership in any of a
list of over 100 organizations, with names like, "World Peace and
Freedom League" and "German-American Bund." I think CPUSA was on there, too.
My wife's ex, 3rd of the 16th Field Artillery, had to fill one out, and
it asked if he was a member of any underground organizations. He wrote
in, "National Speleological Society." His CO said, "Very funny. Now do
it over." I've never quite figured out what prompted her to divorce such
a sharp guy.
