RE: Lists, posts, and being offensive

I think Joe has an excellent point -- the "lack of human interface in
email".  It is hard enough to read some people when having a face to
face conversation....  And Scott -- I can say that I have never been
offended by anything you posted on the list.....  You have provided a
wealth of information to the readers of this list.... Especially when it
comes to my questions on socket programming :)  (oops -- sorry Joe -- it
should have been <grin> -- lol)

A common complaint, and one I attribute to the lack of human interface
in email.  That's why I try to litter my posts (if that's not redundant)
with <grin>s and the like, just to make it clear when I'm making a joke.
And still we all sometimes write something that's a bit more caustic
than necessary.  We're human.

The list would be diminished otherwise.
