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.
So you're saying that any technical writing sufficiently advanced is magic. I can testify to that - I don't know how many times I've had jobs where somebody tells me they want me to take the notes and meeting minutes and other source material from the engineers and work my magic on it. We may as well use "appears" and "disappears," or even "materializes" and "vanishes." :-)
