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.
A> The examples used by the author were really *bad* pieces of technical
writing.
B> I resent being described as "entrenched" when every employer I've ever
worked for has insisted on a particular style... some moreso than others.
The material I'm writing now, while perfectly adapted to the market for
which it is intended, would bore the pants off anyone else.
C> Just for the record, I have written poetry, have composed (and
performed) rock songs, play the banjo, and embrace radical politics. None
of those leanings have had any discernible effect on my technical writing
(well, sometimes I hum).
My boss reads this list regularly. I won't add anything else.
