Quiet often I see postings where I think "this should have been posted as a private mail". Where is the time difference between posting in private or in public ? I believe it's more likely you educate people if you don't offense them in the first place. I do think you're quick+dirty post was very much to the point, but I also wish I hadn't seen it - I would have missed a somewhat funny mail but maybe then the to:-person would have gotten something out of it. If you think it's more important to post "the truth" but have absolutly no or very little time, write a even shorter mail, stating only the facts - don't try to teach at all, just correct. Or don't even bother to write a mail, as you have no time :-) Or, simple, don't (try to) communicate if you have no time. If you do, it's likely you neither get nor convey a message thru. regards, Holger
