I tell newbies all the time to post their draft emails/texts for feedback and input. Not because they cannot do it. It is because they do not YET have the proper DBing tools on how to write one based on DB principles.

What I advise around here when writing emails/texts is the following tips:

-KISS (Keep It Short and Sweet) Short, concise and relevant
-STFU about blaming, resentment, self-righteousness, and moralizing

So Tarheel...take out your Sharpie pen and re-work this draft. Word of warning..there may be 2 or 1,000 drafts before you reach the final version. 'Kay?

For some tips on how to do this, you might want to visit Dev's thread. We worked with Dev on the no-OM boundary email to his wife.

I will be away all the rest of the afternoon for a work commitment and will return in the evening. Myself and other DBers will be happy to assist you through this writing process.

Hang in there! You've got tons of DBers ready to lend you support and assistance here. smile cool




Great advice, Wonka. smile
