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.
I've been informed that I violated a list rule with my last post.
"Do not directly attack anyone for anything on the list. Take issue with
ideas,
not personalities, and do not point out grammatical, spelling, or usage
errors."
I apologize to anyone who took this as an attack.
