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.
Thus, to my mind, the general resistance to technical writers (of whatever ilk,
be it medical, software, hardware, whatever). The writer's goal is to make the
information ACCESSIBLE, which is directly antithetical to the professional's
goal of keeping the knowledge SECRET (or known only to the particular group of
which he or she is a member).

Absolutely. Interestingly, this is also true of certain librarians, which you
would think is antithetical to _their_ purpose!
