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.

Tsk, tsk! No, you don't! I wrote an application that you can use to avoid all
of the scrolling! I even made the core functionality freeware, as a service to
the TECHWR-L community (though, it also works with other mailing lists, too).
One person reported having problems with the program since we moved to Lyris.
If you (or anyone else on this list) experience problems, let me know, and I
can get an alpha of the next version to you.
