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.
That frequently happens in meetings here. Someone will raise a point
that is on the agenda, but the discussion veers into other territory.
The facilitator briefly interrupts and announces that the meeting is
over, but those who are interested in further discussion about that
point are free to continue. He then leaves. It works for us.

Subject: More meeting madness
I was in another one of those meeting today where the discussion went
off the track, and since it was my meeting, I would have been within my
rights to forcibly drag it back on track - except for one thing. We had
already covered everything we needed to cover. If it had been someone
else's meeting, I would have left - but would it be weird to walk out of
your own meeting?
