"______________"

A colleague of mine recently sent an accidentally blank email to all our southern California attorneys, i.e., he hit send before typing in his text. It seemed a colossal waste of time to recall the blank message, so he didn't. The responses, of course, rolled immediately in:

• "Your e-mails have become too brief."


• "I agree completely."


• "You have my vote."


• "I recommend this person."


• "I'll attend."

And my personal favorite,

• "No, I don't know this proposed mediator."

Technology: funny whether it knows it or not.
