Perfect and eloquently expressed! -----Original Message----- From: Elise C. Miller [mailto:emiller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 1:15 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] vote I vote "yes" with a caveat: I do think sometimes the discussions get more heated than necessary - although I also think that language is often misinterpreted in emails. It can seem like someone is being snooty or unpleasant in an email when that's really not their intention. I think some of the discussion that prompted the voting was a bit too heated for my tastes, but rather than suggest it be removed, I just move on to the next message. I do think people's opinions about the merits of both products were interesting - the opinions of experts are always helpful IMO.
