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 would contact them privately about it. If they don't change it, I
suggest recalling any recommendations you may have written and kindly
decline without detail any calls for referral you may get.
It's as unprofessional to publicly attack someone's credentidls as it
is to fake your own credentials.
