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.
On behalf of anyone who has ever posted a message that Andreas
(or others) found boring, I make the following statement.
It is true. You have unearthed a truth about our lives that
we were trying to keep secret: We don't always live on the
cutting edge. Sorry. Our lives are filled with hardware and
software headaches, editors who dare to disagree with us, and
other constant reminders that we don't know everything that
a tech writer could possibly know. :-)
When we seek advice on techwr-l, please forgive us if it is
not always high-tech or controversial.

Oh, btw, Andreas, the "gender gap" in computer use is the
cover story of the latest Newsweek, but I'm not trying to
open up *that* subject again! ;-)
