Back to the original topic, please.... :-)
I read this list because, as a software developer, I have to write
design documents, I have to write manual pages and other
documentation, etc. I am a technical writer occasionally as the needs
demand, but I am not in a technical writing position. I think most
software engineers fit this category.
Also, I have interests in CyberSpace and Hypertext issues which both
deal with technical writing (since most of our news/email
communications are still textual and many are technical).
