Sadly, you and I are a dying breed, it seems. :-) There's a definite subset of the culture who decidedly do NOT like any email longer than a couple of sentences-even if it means sacrificing clarity for brevity.
Twitter has only exacerbated the problem by catering to that whim. It's clearly a cultural shift that's been at play for some time. I write emails like people of old wrote letters. Sadly, people don't do that anymore. And sadly, those of this ilk aren't vocal about it: they just won't read an email that's "too long" in their opinion, yet they'll respond in a thread without acknowledging that, which can cause more confusion. Oh well, c'est la vie. :-) As you say, I don't stop. Some appreciate it (whether in email, blog entries, and so on), and I write for them. :-) Thanks for the encouragement, though others may hold it against you! /charlie From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Derrick Peavy Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 11:52 AM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Best way to handle chunk of CFIF statements Well, don't stop. I prefer content over confusion (short). __________________ Derrick Peavy On Aug 25, 2011, at 11:37 AM, Charlie Arehart wrote: Me and my "long" emails, I guess. ;-} /charlie ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
