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 have to agree with the opinions expressed that a moderated list would
lose a lot that this list offers. Eric's suggestion that a new list be
started with a moderator may be the answer for both sides of this
discussion, but please leave this list in the free and unmoderated category.
