venantius j pinto,
Email truly is a strange beast.
I agree with you that email can be relatively easy or very difficult to grasp.
Since you are the second person to bring this up today, let me make you and
others aware that Marlon sometimes writes with sarcasm. When you are aware
of this possibility, what Marlon writes will read totally different, sometimes
the
exact opposite, of what one may perceive if s/he did not know Marlon was being
sarcastic. Give it a try. Read Marlon's post again as if he was being
sarcastic.
Hope this helps.
