There are always ill-mannered, bad-tempered people, and always have been, on
and off e-mail.  But where else would you find an international community
who have rarely if ever met, but who are so willing to exchange ideas,
information and assistance?  Spirited debate is fine by me, though I HATE
DOWNRIGHT RUDENESS.

It is not my intention to instigate something, however, I feel compelled to
pose a question about how we talk to each other.

Do you think that some people speak to their colleagues in the same
unprofessional and unfriendly manner as some of us choose to write in
e-mail?

A response is not necessary.
