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 follow some newsgroups that are very effectively moderated and I have no
problem with it at all. However, it does demand a lot of *someone's* time to
look at every message coming in, and I'm sure we all have real jobs and a life
as well.
I've set the listserver to simply send me a daily digest and that makes the
issue a lot less pressing. One mail message instead of a steady stream, and I
can skip over the adminstrative stuff (how to unsubscribe and that mess of
listserver search commands from a few weeks back) or the messages that are not
relevant.
