Re: Misunderstood Irony

Absolutely, Tom and Glenn...
Rachel, your input is valuable...I know that there have been countless times via
email that I have found myself in the unfortunate position of being
misunderstood. I certainly hope that you will stay. There's little hope for
peace in the world if we cannot work through the communication difficulties that
we encounter from time to time. You have much to offer our group and I hope that
you will stay.
