Buffy ,'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I would think that would be implied, but the fact that this person couldn't read the original question correctly makes me doubt. The right thing for this person to have done was "I'll get that info to you shortly" or actually include the correct info with their "I am a moron" email.
Maybe follow up with "Okay, could you get me what I need by such and such a time?".
Timelies! I'm back in the land of internet. CJ and I spent the weekend with some friends at their cabin in Wyoming. So far away from civilization, so freaking relaxing.
It was also heartbreaking in that the forest is mostly dead due to beetle kill. The forest service has dropped a bunch of the dead trees, but left them on the ground. It was hard to look in any direction and not see more dead trees than healthy ones.
If I think someone is an idiot, I always reply an extra time and extra clearly.
If I'm referring to "Hueys" in a document, and it's clear from context that they are small military helicopters, should I explain what they are any more than that? [link]

I think I'll go with a "thank you, am tenterhooked until your response" sort of a reply that assumes the info is coming.
But why the fuck would he even assume I wanted street addresses? There were only two sentences in the paragraph. What would imply I wanted to MAIL them anything? He is oddly blatant about brushing people off. Or, well, me.
If it's clear in context, I think you're fine, Jesse.

Heh.

Thanks.
On the idiotic coworker front, the other day I got an email that said, "Has Project X ended? When would the final report be due?" I wrote back saying, "Project X was ultimately called Name A, and I'm attaching the final report we sent last year." I attached the report we sent to Funder. She wrote back asking, "I'm also wondering about Name A. It looks like it was funded by Funder. Is that closed?"
People clearly suck. But not all the time. For instance, DragonCon finally dumped the child-molester: [link]
Rick Perry won't seek another term as governor. Hallelujah.
Not that there aren't plenty of assholes waiting in the wings.

Oh YES, finally! It sounds like this was a legal nightmare, I'm glad the rest of the board was able to work it out.
