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.
Would you believe someone I know in Australia used to work for someone
in Vancouver named Jack Bonney?
It was at a tech writing company named Laser Publishing Inc., where Mr.
Bonney was the CEO at the time of the company's demise (in about 1987).
I don't know if it's the same Jack Bonney, but if there's one thing I
learned from him, it's to only use one sentence per paragraph; if you
want to use more than that, you've got to join them with semi-colons or
dashes; looking at his web page, it seems this rule still holds--I guess
some things never change.
Thanks for the chuckle, Jack, but I don't think I'll respond to your
survey.
