Yeah, that's a problem... most of us tend to write these e-mail
comments as if they were a bit of talk tossed off (American sense of the
phrased, please... well, actually, both could apply...) in casual
conversation. Then they get sent to perhaps hundreds of people, and
archived for posterity. So, it's clear one should say ONLY things one
wants remembered for yea... er, wait. Never mind.
