Re: List of professional associations for techwriters

I just checked out Peter's page, and I think he did a
super job!  It was really needed.  I plan to add
a link to it off our pages.

I'm going to send Peter a note with some more comments,
but this one I want to make publicly:  Please note that
STC is actually an international organization, even though
it might be more visible in N. America.  You mentioned a lack
of listings from the Far East, yet I've met STC members
from Taiwan and Japan.

Keep up the good work, Peter!
