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.
If you didn't know: bitnet.listserv.techwr-l, or whatever the exact name is,
is gatewayed with techwr-l mailing list; they are essentially two ways to
receive and transmit to and from the same medium (what you'd call that
medium, I have no idea -- infospace?).
When you post to the newsgroup and fail to attach a signature, or at least
an e-mail address for yourself, those of us who get the postings via mail
have NOT A CLUE who you are; all that's listed in the From: field is
TECHWR-L. Not real helpful for establishing direct e-mail contact with a
kindred spirit. Since most Net-connected folks check their mail more often
than they scan the newsgroup, direct-mailing will usually get you in touch
with X, Y, or Z sooner than reply-posting to the group and hoping they'll
see it sometime soon.
Please, please, PLEASE remember to clearly identify yourself in your
postings! Remember: if someone can help you, but they can't reach you, it's
your loss...
