Sometimes it's difficult to communicate with just email. You don't have facial reaction to develop non-verbal clues like you would in a face-to-face conversation. Sometimes smilies help :-), ;), etc. The readers should always keep in mind that text only communication can be hazardous and it's easy to read meaning into messages that were not intended. Mix that with different personalities, cultures, and native languages, and the risk goes up. I've found the easiest way to address this is to try to stay away from things that can raise an emotional reaction and try to stay on the technical side of things. It's not always possible, but I've found the approach tends to minimize problems. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
