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 have to agree with Micheal here, we aren't getting anywhere with this
ever-continuing saga on certification. While both sides have brought up
valid points it is time to give it a rest. People are people and each one is
going to have their own opinion and not always agree, so why keep hammering
that point continuously on the list. I say we move on and move onto
something else.
