I guess a reminder, every knows but somehow
I simply feel to say a repeat ...
The maillist and emails are text and intent
sometimes misunderstood. Intent is part of the tone and
feelings implied in the use of words.
Why do I say this now ?
Because I received a person email comtaining
clarification on something. I needed to then ask about it.
Which I'm sure I thoughtfully did.
After 2 go rounds, I was informed by the other person
his first email was -- the word of the day --sarcastic.
Sarcastic humor. ("humor" is the important part ).
And in retrospect, it was !!! I just didn't get it.
And he didn't understand why I was questioning it.
In the end, we're both more at ease at the
mixup, and back on track ... a better understanding
on personal STYLE of writing.
regards,
Walt..............
