If your not expecting a reply, do not ask a question or end that way. |
| 15 |
If your trying to make an argument on last word. Your essentially |
| 16 |
forcing such. |

I already explained this on dev... |

"If I said something to a group or individual in person. Then someone |
| 21 |
replied. I would not ignore their reply. That is rude and |
| 22 |
disrespectful. What others see as noise is me being polite and replying |
| 23 |
to those who have replied to my post. It is not trying to get the last |
| 24 |
word. It is simply being polite as I would in person. I would not walk |
| 25 |
away mid discussion. Would you in person?" |

When someone composes an email, and says; |
| 29 |
"William, could you please..." |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
That is CLEARLY addressed directly to me. Just like if someone walked |
| 32 |
up to you and said that. Would you walk away or respond? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I guess I should be rude, ignore the message and not reply... They made |
| 35 |
a request direct request to me, ending in a question mark. |
| 36 |
Thus I replied. Exactly as I am now. |
