DR:
Is this a pattern in your lives?
Christ, I'd give anything to have some pattern to my life.
More pertinent to your question, I found Eric's comment salient (don't-cha
just love that word?). I've long thought that women perceive themselves as
existence itself, ergo any reply from the Mystical Body of Herself is to all
existence. And I have no problem with that, being as I'm only an isolated,
individual male type being still calling out in the night for Mama .

I have noted a gender or sex difference--I don't see how to untangle this,
given that the subject is a kind of anonymous medium--in my e mail
"inbox." When a group is consulted about an issue that seems pertinent to
the group, either sex will hit "reply all." But in other instances--and
I'm working on a definition of these--men will reply to the sender only,
reasoning that no one wants to be bothered with too much e-mail, and women
will reply to everyone, reasoning that this is an inclusive or bonding or
friendly move.
You'll have guessed that I noticed the pattern because I'm sick of
getting e-mail I don't want or need to read, "Well done, team," that sort
of thing. "Thank you for hosting a fine evening," sent to everyone so
that everyone knows you are a polite kind of person.
Is this a pattern in your lives?
