This is one of the problems with the written word.   Transcripts are
insufficient to give a full picture of the intent behind a speaker's meaning. 
   Victor Borge years ago did a bit on "Phonetic Punctuation", as a
tongue-in-cheek assist to clarity in communication.   I'd be willing to bet
that there would be far less confusion regarding a writer's intent, if the
words were spoken, and then played back audibly.

I've found this thread to be an excellent example of reframing and folks
oing what I call "assigning tone" to e-mails. They read what they want to
ee OR what they *assume* the other person is saying. They simply do not
ead what IS actually posted, nor do they, except in rare instances, ask
ntent if it isn't clear. Then they respond to their own assumptions!

Up at the top there..what does that say??
t says Pro Posters, that is, people who have primarily POSTED pro-Obama.
Both of you have made such posts.
I stand by my list(with the exception of SJC), and I will be happy to
lutter up the list with examples if I must, but c'mon....
I could have said, "Rob(becida), there are more Pro-Obama posters than
here are Anti-Obama posters", and left it at that. Had I said there
re 9 pro and 8 against, people would h
ave wanted me to name names. So,
named names and used the archives to justify how I categorized people.
If you want me to post examples, I will, but after this post/thread, I'm
one. I'll be happy to discuss my views off list to anyone who wants to
iscuss stuff.
