I just discovered something that will make me change my way of phrasing email. There was a post by someone on this list that took exception to Plato being called "some guy" (by the way I agreed with it) that used a lot of exclamation points and question marks in series. I would not have gotten it except that I am in the habit of occasionally checking the bit bucket where my spam blocker throws such things just to see what it is rejecting. In there I found that message. Apparently thrown there because of the excessive use of punctuation. I wonder how much of my sent mail has been lost that way? >From now on I send with only a single punctuation mark on each sentence. -- Jim Isbell "If you are not living on the edge, well then, you are just taking up too much space."
