Austechwriter is actually a small community although some list members would 
probably want to deny that. Many of us have been here for more than a decade 
now through thick and thin. We have some or lots of an idea about others lives 
on the list and empathise with each others joys and disappointments. We are a 
small fraternity in Australia and it is nice to have the group and even if some 
of us have never met, we certainly have a strength of 'friendship' that is 
stronger than pen-friends.

The robustness of the discussions often digress from "technical writing" per 
se, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The strength of expression suggests 
that list members are comfortable enough to really vent - a sure sign of being 
part of something greater than a work related forum. In many ways and 
instances, austechwriter is one of the very few places we technical writers can 
actually write creatively and with almost complete freedom of expression - is 
that a bad thing for any writer to be able to do?

Relax, enjoy and of course; welcome! Contribute as you can, and don't get too 
upset if the noise is not just about technical writing.
