RE: Death Caused by stupidity Was: CNET Editor Death CausedbyaTechnical Communication Mistake?

["Bonnie Granat" <bgranat -at- granatedit -dot- com>]

 My subject header was a question, not a condemnation of anybody. It's
intent was to highlight the importance of what we do and what the
Rand-McNally map evidently lacked. Provocative? Yes, perhaps, but far from
what you want to characterize it as. Perhaps I should be apologizing for
overestimating certain traits of the readers of this list.

One doesn't have to be anything more than a human being to have viewed your
post as <insert appropriate word>.
