I also think that this would make a good on-line topic.
I often use the list to get answers about grammar, editing, etc. and I notice that a lot of others do as well.
I think that the only debate here is whether to make it a regular organized thing or to leave it as is.
Being your rather more obsessive-compulsive type of TW I would like to see something structured. Let's talk and see if we can't set something up.

Hello,
Would you please send me some of the responses you receive. The small
band of tech writers in my office are thinking of starting something like
this (for ourselves and others in the agency) and I would appreciate
insights you gain.
Thanks,
Lesley Roth

No, don't respond off list! This sounds very interesting.
