This may seem trivial to some or most of you, but it holds a lot of
truth. There is an unwritten law in the book of nettique (sp?) which
basically says, "If an email or post makes you upset, do NOT reply
immediately....wait 24 hours before responding and chances are your reply
will be much more acceptable."
I myself have fallen victim to this on a number of occasions where if I
had waited and reread the email, I might not have been so harsh as was my
immediate response. Remember people...it's much more difficult to express
the attitudes one feels when writing an email.
Now please excuse the off-topic post, and lets drop it, forget it ever
happened and get back to our regularly scheduled music! Thank you very much!
Sincerly,
