YES!!! More than one question in an email almost always gets me an answer only to the first one. I would uncharitably assume that my victim doesn't actually ~read~ my emails, if I hadn't caught myself doing the same thing. Thankfully I do it rarely, but I do it.
(Admittedly I tend to pack a lot of information into one email, and to alternate between explanation and question. Still.) --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment. -from A Cowboy's Guide to Life */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Stuart Holland Sent: Thursday, November 4, 2021 17:42 I found that not only is the subject often ignored, I can't ask for more than one piece of information in an email. I will only get the answer to the first question. And if I respond to a question with additional information in anticipation of the next question, I will always get asked what I just answered anyway. --- On 11/4/2021 3:53 PM, Tom Brennan wrote: > I tend to skip over the subject of emails.
