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.

There are almost as many posts in the meta-discussion (discussing
the discussion about certification) as in the discussion itself.
Most of the postings in the meta-discussion are pleas to reduce
the number of postings in the certification discussion. I'm
curious as to the nature of the impulse to add noise to a discussion
by running a high-volume meta-discussion at the same time (and
often with the same subject line).
(The impulse to start a meta-meta-discussion is something I attribute
to the joy of poking a hornet's nest with a stick.)
