I find the number of times I write an email and get a response that doesn't fully answer the question I asked increasing. I don't know if it's a lack of reading comprehension, a desire to do the least amount needed to check a box in their brain, or something else - but the lead time and the need for multiple emails is frustrating. I'm also suffering from short-timer's syndrome, going to be going through an organizational change soon and not having to deal with some of these people. Makes everything rub that much more. --- MultiMail/Win v0.52 þ Synchronet þ .: realitycheckbbs.org :: scientia potentia est :. .
