IML: How to send email...

[Bob Schmitt <bsbrbank@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike -

I couldn't agree with you more (and I've been part of this list since 
almost the beginning) about really, really bad email etiquette - but I see 
the same thing at my (so called) high tech office.  Sure, everyone is "new" 
at something for a while, but it seems some folks never learn.  Sort of 
reminds me of an editorial in Autoweek a few months ago, about drivers who 
never seem to check their mirrors to see what's happening behind them.

One would think if you're sufficiently intelligent or perceptive to own an 
Imperial AND join the IML, you'd figure out how to use email.  One would 
think...

Not so tongue-in-cheek...

Bob
