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.
> As an officer the Society for Technical Communication (STC), I'd like to

> And with that in mind, I'd like to clear up a bit of confusion about

<chaGRIN>.... Hi! I'm the bonehead who wrote "STC now has it's own
list...." insteada writing "TECH WRITER'S now have their own list...."
(_This is your brain online_ THE ROUGH DRAFT, Phoenix chapter newsletter,
Sept 1993.....)
The responsibility for this error is entirely my own..... my apologies to
all involved for any confusion or embarrassment this may have caused.
My editor had nothing to do with this error.
> Similarly, in their enthusiasm to share the excitement of this list with
their
> readers, some STC newsletter editors are reprinting contributions to this
list.
> Although the contributors are given a byline, some of the articles seem a bit
> strange out of the context of the list. Some are published, too, without the
> prior permission of the contributor. With the ease with which we can now
> download and print online information, we sometimes forget about copyrights
> and permissions. If any STC Newsletter Editor is reading this list,
> please check with a contributor before printing the information they posted.
YIPE!!!!!! Please contact me if you feel you were quoted outta context
or without specific authorisation.... (Norm Parry, Simon North & Chuck
Banks come to mind..... <tremble> )

Again, if there ar problems with my articles in The ROUGH DRAFT,
please consider them MY errors, and not those of Editor Sue Norris or the
Phoenix Chapter.
Thanks,
