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.
I believe the point being made here is that what we do ain't art; it's craft. Both require "creativity" of various sorts, but they have different goals.
(Have we had this debate before, or have I been reading online discussions for so long that I feel deja vu automatically?)

<What we're practising is not creativity but
problem-solving.>
Mark,
Beautiful words, as always. Can't problem-solving be creative? In my
opinion, very much so.
