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.

My first reaction is to point out that the owners of THIS list, TECHWR-L,
Eric J. Ray and Deborah S. Ray wrote a book that I have, "HTML4 For Dummies:

written other books, too.)
And if being asked for your autograph makes you famous, let me be the first
to curry favor with our beloved List Owners by craving their autographs.
