friends.

systems since the late 80's, (I know, "Youngster!!!") I found all too true
the fact, the tone or spirit the email is written in is often not what comes
through. There are specific instances in my career when I've had to walk
down the hall to a coworker's office and explain I was trying to be funny.

an eye towards, "If the person on the other end is having a bad day or
doesn't get that I'm being funny or sarcastic or drool or passionate, could
it be taken the wrong way?"

> It's why I start a lot of my posts with "Dude!" How can anyone take a post
seriously when it starts with, "Dude". Yeah, and sometimes I'm nothing more
than full of sh*t.
