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 would think that in a group like this -- a group that was purely
business related -- you should keep all mention of your personal life
and your personal problems out of it.

How open you should be about your lifestyle and non-work-related
opinions is another question. As a hiring manager, I don't want
to hear about anything that is not relevant and legal to know,
but I wouldn't count on every hiring manager feeling the same
way. You've got to make a judgement call on how much you feel
comfortable revealing.
