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.
The "Dummies" books work where most other manuals have failed. Humour is a
tremendously powerful tool which tends to be looked down upon in our
profession. Many a battle in the boardroom, confrontation over issues and
the incomprehensible have been resolved or communicated through the tactful
use of humour.
If it works why fight it.

do not bombard me or the list with yet another discussion of absolute
correct language and punctuation.
