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.
This topic has now been under discussion, in the guise as different
threads, for as long as I've been on this list and obviously since well
before. It is obvious that this subject, culture of tech writers, technical
vs. non-technical writers, and necessary qualifications of tech writers,
etc. is yet another holy war with no hope of gaining consensus in the near
future.
What say we attempt to peacefully co-exist and drop it for a while?
