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.
Like I've already said those other writers don't write about the MES so it's not a part of the technology they're writing about.

I recognize that this attitude is very common, but I find it a little sad. It reminds me of all the companies I've seen in which people spend their lives testing programs or running programs for clients, yet are unable to say exactly what the programs do. All through the high-tech world, people are spending their working lives on things that they don't understand or care about - yet, with just a little effort on their part, they could make their jobs more interesting and more bearable. I suppose curiosity is rare, and a fear of admitting ignorance all too common.
