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.
Perhaps this is another example of the cheapening of what now passes for
education and the death of academic rigor. I heard this story over 30 years
ago, but then the answer "Why not?" earned an automatic failure. The
question intended to elicit a coherent philosophic view, not sophomoric
gainsaying or silly solipsism.
