<VV> RE: Communique article rejection about using Corvair site

[Ian Harding]

Actually, I don't. You don't know anything about me, so I would prefer that 
you not assume that you do.

You are probably correct in that the book is a good value. In fact, it would 
probably pay for itself in one reading if all the talk about it on this list 
is true. However, I tend not to buy things sight unseen. Especially books. 
Being shouted at to "...Buy the damn book..." is not the same as actually 
seeing a table of contents or sample page or two.

I am CC'ing this to the list to point out the fact that someone who is not 
accustomed to receiving rude email from strangers might be upset by this 
message, and turned off to the group and possibly Corvairs generally by 
association. I think we all might do well to sleep on our reponses to email 
messages we find upsetting, and to re-read them for tone of voice before 
hitting "send." 

What is often disparaged here as being "Politically correct" is in fact, 
being polite.
