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.
Thanks to all who replied to my posting of last week. Seems like a

For a number of reasons, including the impact of recent international
events, I am not proceeding with this search at this time. But I will
keep your suggestions on file for some time in the future. Thanks again.
