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'm appalled that someone would think that language use isn't an intrinsic
part of technical communication, to put it bluntly. How can the two be
separated? There is no communication at all, let alone technical
communication, without language use. It only follows that *how* you use
language should be directly pertinent to how (or even if you are able to)
communicate technically.
If Eric was attempting to stifle a source of relentless and endless debate,
well, I think he could have approached the task more effectively.
