Multi-paragraph emls wrtn lik txt msgs. lol! I've seen plenty of silly email behavior, as has everyone who deals with corporate email.
But... If I could eliminate one thing it would be top posting. Far too often what could have been a simple exchange requiring a couple messages turns into a multi-day, sometimes even multi-week affair attempting to ask the same set of questions multiple ways until they're all answered or rendered irrelevant. I've tried many solutions. (1) Numbering topics. (2) Limiting important content to single sentence paragraphs. (3) Sending multiple message, one per new thread of discussion. (4) Etc. While it sometimes helps a little, it's a amazing how stubbornly some people insist on replying without reading and understanding the entire message first. -- Stuart Jansen <[email protected]> /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
