For those seeking a freewheeling and often but by
no means exclusively technical-writing-oriented forum,
check out techcomm. Instructions follow:

*****
To join, change your settings or leave the list, you send commands to the list processor list -at- user -dot- itconsult -dot- co -dot- uk  in the first line of the body of a mail message.
You could send the commands:
JOIN TECHCOMM - this joins you to the list, and you will be sent a copy of each message as it is posted
DIGEST TECHCOMM - this makes you a digest member. You will be sent one message each day, containing all the day's messages
LEAVE TECHCOMM - this makes you an ex-member!
HELP - this sends you a generic help file with instructions about using the list processor
*****

Discussions in the last couple of days have been about
everything from buying a house (15 year vs 30 year
mortgage choices) to technical illustrators
and job opportunities.

The rules, as I understand them, are only that you
may not discuss what's appropriate for the list.

I don't run the list (Iain Harrison does) and have
no connection with the list other than being a member.

In my interpretation, if TECHWR-L is a professional
conference and the discussions include everything
from formal presentations to discussions over coffee
between seminars, techcomm is the bar down the street
to which people retire to relax.
