It is 'funny' some people need to be taught on Pm etiquette. I doubt they comunicate that way when they send an email or letter to anyone outside of this industry.

My primary job is one that is done 90% via email communication and believe me, the majority of people out there do not communicate properly by way of email even outside of this industry.

Most people treat PM's, emails, and message boards like they're talking to a long lost friend on MSN. This morning at work I got more than one mail from "clients" (for lack of better wording so that I don't go into what I do) that consisted of 4 to 5 words expecting me to understand what they want.

As a newbie to this site/industry I don't think it's a viable excuse to say "but I'm a newbie" either. I'm taking the time to read the boards and make sure that I don't offend the lovely women who work in this industry.

I really appreciate all the input put forward by the SP's on this site. Although I will be taking my time to make the jump from participating on the board to actually meeting with a SP all of the input & information is wonderful.

common sense unfortunately is not all that common :-(

So I'm guessing this is a decent way to adjust to this sort of community... :-) I'm new to CERB (only my 2nd day on the site) and new to the world of SP's (which is why I joined CERB).

I run a 1/2 marathon the week before, might be a good present to reward myself with :-)
