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.

What kind of incentive should readers be given to respond? Why
does it seem like you have to give someone something--a gift, if you
will--to do you a favor? I wouldn't mind seeing something like
a postage-paid reply card, but I certainly don't expect a
drink holder with a company name on it, nor do I want one.
And unfortunately, I don't have any brilliant ideas on how to
get readers to send the questionnaires in, so don't ask me to
post my bright ideas. I would if I had some. I'll ponder this
over the weekend and get back to you.
