I want to let you know about a great daily service that you will enjoy and benefit from. Powerquotes features a quote and some questions to reflect on, related to the quote. It arrives FREE in your inbox each weekday. No this is not about a George Carlin comedy skit, which many of us have heard, but about communication on the web. Before the advent of email, most of us, other than sending out cards for special occasions, would write very few letters.
Many people simply copy the entire note to which they are responding, and make their comments.
Others might lift a pertinent paragraph and respond. This is acceptable practice. Let's face it - unless you are socializing with a friend, if someone asks a question, they want an answer, and don't really care if you had rain last night. But, you can be too brief in your replies. I get email all the time, and don't have a clue as to what they're referring to.
