Hello,

Part of doing FOSS is to learn to *communicate* --- as a writer *and*
as a reader.

While writing, one should make one's best attempt to say things as
clearly, logically and briefly as possible. Punctuation and formatting
are important as well. The writer should be trying to reach the
reader.

As readers, we should make an effort to try and understand what is
being said. In particular, this means that we should forgive all
errors of the above type---if we can get the meaning. The reader
should be trying to read the mind of the writer.

In both cases, we need to spend more *time* to read and to write. The
writer should use the "save as draft" key until you have time to put
in the effort. The reader should use the "next" key until you have the
time to read carefully.

In brief, if you don't have anything to say, don't say it, if you
don't like what is written just ignore/delete it.

Instead of spending so much energy on deciding which *language* we
can communicate in, we should spend some time on communicating!

Regards,

Kapil.
