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.

In that case, "customers only" = "public" and the company would be
fooling/confusing itself to pretend otherwise.
Categories shouldn't have names that lead people to believe a
restriction exists when it doesn't. Either the company is OK with the
information becoming public knowledge, or it wants to restrict it.
The "customers only" category seems to mean "we wish this didn't become
public knowledge, but aren't going to do anything about it" -- a very
odd point of view, IMHO.
