Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 The shame is that the medium gets blamed for the misunderstood nature of many messages as you refer to them. I'm older than many here (not Gandy, , or Stafprd old mind you) and when E-Mail came to the masses via CompUServ and than AOL we were all warned about the nature of the inhuman nature of the new beast we had at our fingertips. I've had this address since like 1983 or something like that. My kids and most 20 somethings live and die in this cyber world yet we lost that lesson of the lesson of the dangers of the misreading of an E-Mail. We've also lost a degree of civility in other areas not just online in this fast paced life we live. My God I am sounding old! Next I will relate my walking to school uphill both ways etc. Bledsoe needs to get me a script for old timers I guess. Louis N. Molino, Sr. CET FF/NREMT/FSI/EMSI Typed by my fingers on my iPhone.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Ah, Alyssa, you have identified the dilemma of the writer. How does one express one's self in writing that cannot be misinterpreted? It is so extremely difficult as to be next to impossible. Once your words are out there, as you so aptly say, they are the property of the reader. Our mission is to write in such ways that there is no possibility of misinterpretation. Nobody, to my knowledge, has yet achieved that goal. GG Re: On another note (WAS: Re: Progressive services?) A shame? No, not at all. When we write, what we write is an expression of our thought. But what starts off as a pure thought gets degraded; it loses something when we put it into words. It then loses even more meaning once it is read, as those words are then entirely at the mercy of the reader. When you put it out on a public forum, your words are also at the mercy of anyone who may or may not comment on them, whether on that same forum or otherwise. But where this imperfect system of communication often breeds misunderstanding, it also gives joy. When someone truly and honestly understands you, and you " connect with " them, you consider it special. You would be unable to experience that joy if a thousand other people had not misunderstood you. But these are all just my thoughts, which are themselves imperfect.
