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 run two systems. One I work on. The other system is just for email
because I monitor a bug tracking system (HEAT) where all CS and TS

haven't had the time to set up the filters for moving all tech messages
to a folder, so I see them all. It has little to do with picking which
messages to open.

fingers say comment.
