Re: clarification and apology

[Dan Robinson / Indexing Services <drobinson@INFO.HWWILSON.COM>]

Once again, it is shown how hard it is to express emotions and intent
when writing. Email is worse, since it is usually written quickly. I
can see how Chris chose the excerpt, but there are two completely
different meanings (to me) when read in context and out of context. I
know that when you are copying and pasting within a larger scope,
what you put together can read differently in isolation, than during
the process.

I think we all have a greater appreciation of good writers at times
like this. I know I do. That's why I'm overt in pointing out humor or
other emotions in my email.
