Hello
I think that is very well put, and I think that is a great policy for a
bisness to have, and like you said it's just to bad that we can't do it
here.

Yes, great post Tom.
And in regards to Dan's post:
I think one of the reasons that discussions can get heated more quickly
via text than verbal conversations is because there is no voice tone in
text discussion.
In verbal discussion we use voice tone to judge if someone is being
sarcastic, humorous, or serious.
In text dialogs everyone reads the text from their own perspective without
any voice tone to help clarify it and this can quickly lead to
misunderstandings.
At one of my previous jobs there was a policy that if a text dialog
sounded like it was headed south we were to stop emailing and make a
direct phone call to finish up the dialog.
I think that was a good policy and it's too bad it's not an option on a
mailing list.
I guess we all, myself included, will need to try more to give the benefit
of the doubt when reading and to also take more care in writing.
I look forward to the lists refocus on games.
Ian Reed
