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.
I mean that, if I post a request for help or information and receive personal
responses i.e. sent to me rather than to TECHWR, I feel obliged either to post
a summary to the group which identifies the respondents or send an
acknowledgement to each.
** Oops. Too late for me the etiquette lesson. But thanks to all
who responded regarding mouse-button names.
I am going to explain in a prominent place around the beginning of the
book (though I don't have an introductory Terminology section), and
thereafter I am going to call the usually left button Windows Mouse
Button 1 (which I'll freely shorten to Mouse Button 1) and the usually
right button Windows Mouse Button 2 (which I won't freely shorten),
because to Windows it's the second of the two Windows-recognized buttons.
I am calling the third button "the middle mouse button."
This is the second time recently I've tried to post to you, I'm not sure
what is going wrong.
** Sorry. I should have mentioned you can't trust the header in my
messages. The address at the bottom should work.
Your PS was interesting - a joke, I suppose, because living and working in
Israel you don't really pay tax in the US do you?
** All US citizens are obliged to file, regardless of residence, but
there's an exemption of $70,000 on foreign-earned income. For
technical writers that makes it a joke, I guess. (I'd be laughing
if it weren't for Israeli income tax...)
