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'm a bit behind in my digests, but it's still interesting
to note that no one has yet criticized the phrase "damn
lawyers" which appeared in a previous posting. Is this
because no one's had a good experience with a lawyer? Are
we being unprofessinal in blanketly condemning a sister
profession(i.e., fellow technical writers, albeit extremely
bad ones)?
Here's my vote: "What's the difference between lawyers and
laboratory rats? No one objects to performing painful,
humiliating and potentially lethal experiments on lawyers."
