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 disagree. It is spam because it doesn't seem to answer a question
asked by a list member, it isn't objective, and he didn't identify

Perhaps postings to the list that are business advertisements should be
clearly labeled.
