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.
The issue I see is that the charter is about email and we are on a
discussion/information list. There is a difference. If we were on a forum,
the volume would increase even more.
I agree about the thank you in email to acknowledge receipt of information
or help. In a discussion group, it can probably be eliminated as an
unnecessary message.
As writers, we should be concerned with the volume and other characteristics
of what we write. I don't offend easily. I get offended more by the 5th or
10th resend of some feel good email with cutesy pictures in it because
someone forgot that they sent it 3 months ago.

And before a flame war is started, and we enter a discussion of whether or
not I was justified in posting the link, I will publicly apologize to anyone
who felt offended by the post.
