You're right; that 'tone' thing is absolutely critical when it comes to relatively "flat" communication channels, such as email, blogs, documents, etc. I appreciate that you think I'm doing well here at the blog - that's what I'm aimin' for. Yes, there's a (last) part 4 (I couldn't leave you hanging on our Anniversary now, could I?) Thanks for the kind words, Jackie!

And great point - make sure what they hear is what you meant to say....In this world of communication by technology this is good advice indeed. I do public speaking training and we spend considerable time and effort reinforcing the message that your message ( getting messy this description - bear with me) is conveyed by more than just the words you say! But you can't get a sense of tone in an e-mail ( though you can get a sense of fun and enthusiasm in most of your posts!!)....and there is usually no body language visible. Is there a part 4????
