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.
Sorry, Wally, but perhaps I was unclear in my earlier post (if so, I apologize; I strive to be clear).
It is all right to ask stupid questions. It is rude to yell at people for asking stupid questions or to discourage them from doing so. I was only asserting that to deny the existence of stupid questions is self-deluding.
