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.
From a private account this time, but nonetheless...a colleague at work
subscribed to winhlp-l for me and is forwarding me the digests, but

Frontier.
Of course (after reading Rheingold for a while, this doesn't surprise you)
the entire text of the book is available through the World Wide Web. The
