I totally disagree Frank, unless the "out in public" you refer to is
other e-communication systems. I think 85% of the problem is that e-mail frees
many people of normal social constraints. People will e-attack when they would
never do so in person, or not in the same inappropriate manner. I also think
sometimes people can write in a manner that sounds more harsh than they intend
or realize, especially since there are no visual cues to the contrary as would
be the case in a face to face.

Have you been out in public in the last few years? This is SOP for the
majority of the population as far as I'm concerned. This list is almost
reserved in comparison.
