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.
Eric Ray changed the way this group works so that replies
are automatically personal i.e. not broadcast to the group.
I understand that he did this to reduce traffic by encouraging
behaviour which is common in other groups (laudably so) i.e.
1. A member posts a message to the group.
2. Interested respondents reply to that member.
3. That member posts a summary to the group if she likes.
Karen and Steve and all other members currently engaged in
interminable, public discussions of the he said/she said/
misquoted/misunderstood/assumed/asserted/implied variety,
please desist.
