[nagdu] an update on my friend

Thu Apr 12 19:37:09 UTC 2012

There's folks I've e-mailed offlist and it was all good.  Just sometimes you 
want to continue a conversation that starts on list but is off topic.

I never treat anyone badly on or off list - just not my way.  Sometimes 
things get said by folks that gets taken the wrong way and the medium of 
e-mail creates this miscommunication because there's no way to see the 
people or hear vocal inflection.  Especially when we feel strongly about a 
topic and we get a bit carried away! LOL!
