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.
Some of us live for brickbats. We're the tech writer in that lousy movie, and accept whatever attention we can get. And yes, some of us appear to be condescending because we have only two or three minutes to snap off a reply on some subject where we really are the experts. It's very easy to be snide, short and preachy, all at once. Considering the situation, and the amount of actual money we receive for setting ourselves up to be insulted, those brickbats are actually pretty good pay.
Thanks to all who have helped me over the past several years, and my apologies to those whom I may have offended, whether I wanted to or not.
