I would say, be absolutely, positively sure that you are CORRECTING an error
of some sort - grammatical, technical, etc., or making a clarification - but
even then it's subjective to whatever assumptions you're making about your
audience. (Don't get me started on that thread!)
Get a second opinion - and not from your boss. Perhaps another manager or
better yet, a V.P. Don't be afraid of those people with funny haircuts -
they're paid to intimidate.
