Guest guest Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Docs, After reading and writing several messages, either to the list as a whole, and for private purposes, and then reading the responses to some of those messages, it came to me that since this is electronic messaging, there isn't any emotion associated to our messages. What I mean is, we may think we are responding in a warm, friendly way, but unless we are a seasoned author, we really don't know how to relate emotion with our written word. Some responses I have received seemed that the recipient took my message in a manner that wasn't correct. I have to admit, often times the recipient got the message loud and clear, but from time to time the emotion of my email fell flat. Let all of us remember that when we communicate with the written word. First and foremost, let all of us keep communicating, even after this next general membership meeting, and after the new year. If you receive an email that seems to have been written in a bitter way, just send a reply and ask what the writer meant. In most cases, it may have been taken wrong when you read it. This is just a simple thought, most of mine are, just ask my wife. But I want all of us to remain friends after this mess is cleaned up. I want to repeat that I will be more than happy to carry as many of you with me and my son to the meeting on Tuesday. I think I should be able to handle at least 10.
