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 guess I don't feel qualified, and I find it daunting to post to such a large list. I occasionally post on the HATT list, but since I'm a junior tech writer, I learn more than I can help from both lists.
And any questions I may have are usually already covered, either daily or in the archives. :D

Subject: Poll suggestion: Lurkers
I'd like to poll the lurkers. My question: Why lurk?
Off the top of my receding hairline, I'd think some possible poll answers
might include:
Don't want to get flamed
Don't want my name/address getting out
Don't want my company to see my post
Don't want a bunch of people writing to me
Don't feel qualified
Scared of a particular List member
What's the point?
Too shy
