    Re: Conversational etiquette

    I hate to see acrimony among such a great group of minds.  You all have so
    much wonderful stuff to contribute.  Nobody here is on my block list.
    Whenever I feel stung by an apparently careless arrow, I try to recall that
    nobody on Mars (if anyone is there) cares a hoot; and that the sting is all
    mine, usually.  Email is such a flat medium, poorly suited to
    "conversation", where all the usual face to face cues are missing.  It's too
    easy to misunderstand and to feel misunderstood by email, I think.
    
    I need both Trevor and Frank, if I am ever to master this celestial
    navigation thing.
    
    Fair winds and calm seas,
