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.

Fellow writers: (Is the use of "fellow" sexist? It IS gender specific. Or
used to be.)
There is a current thread on TECHWR_L called Silly Tests which started as a
discussion of testing for technical writers (like typing and computer use
tests) as part of hiring procedures. It has degenerated (?) into a
discussion of what words are appropriate for use on a list server like
TECHWR_L. You might want to look at a couple of the most recent
ones--agree? Disagree? (On both/either the language question and the
possibility of a "fair" and useful testing mechanism for writers.)
Sorry, Gus, I forgot to give you the thread name!
