I appreciated the fact that several DUers offered up alternatives which were much more clearly stated than my own. This example serves to underscore how important it truly is to communicate clearly and how sharpening those skills is an ongoing process. In a day and age when so much of our communication takes place on forums such as these, we have to know how to craft our ideas into words. It's often difficult to gage tone but if an idea is well-expressed it lessens the chance of miscommunication.
