Posted by admin on Jul 12, 2011 in Blog | 2 comments How many times have you written something or read something that was intended one way, but interpreted another way.  Don’t get me wrong… email is awesome.  It has become my own personal “to do list”.  I even send myself email reminders scheduled for future dates and times telling me not to forget something (more on that in a future post).
