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.
We really are information engineers, but getting a title with the word "Engineer" in it would not be easy.

You mean he would have *defenestrated* you. :)
Sorry, couldn't resist.

PS - My favorite title over my career was "Senior Information Engineer" -- had just that little extra edge. Being called an "Engineer" is very cool for a Tech Writer. Wins points among developers.
