[CCWG-ACCT] [CCWG-Accountability] On legal advise concerning California non-profits

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Kieren,

I fully agree with you.


What also irritates me to no end, is that native English speakers,
even lawyers, take no care whatsoever on the drafting of their
emails.

One huge line which appears as one large paragraph in the email
making it extremely difficult to read.

Never mind that many of them are content free.

And don't get me started on the full quotes where comments are
interspersed in a way that they can not be found (again, because of
the thoughtless use of proprietary software).

Or even worse, full posts prefixed with "+1" which means "me three"
and the totally worst cutting everything off, and writing "+1 some
name".

It is disrespectful, but also shows a significant lack of actual
competence about the matters at hand.


And I think that our phone calls are one hour and our meeting one
day too long.

greetings, el
