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.

Yours, Brad.

Hi Folks: Version 1.3: 4/17/94
What follows is a list of LISTSERVs you might find intriguing,
interesting, or worth joining to come to your own conclusions (I'm a
member of only a fraction of these lists, so any reactions to their
usefulness, should you join any of them, will help inform future issues of
_this_ list).
The format of the list is as follows:
Brine Shrimp: listserv -at- uga -dot- cc -dot- uga -dot- edu sub brine-l fn ln
^ ^ ^
List Topic listserv -at- -dot- -dot- -dot- -dot- -dot- -dot- -dot- -dot- -dot- -dot- -dot- -dot- -dot- -dot- 1st line of message
Abbreviated no subject header necessary sub=subscribe
fn=firstname
ln=lastname
(by the way, the above is an _existing_ list, no kidding!).
