Reminds me of the response I was going to send to Jeremy's post about RSI until I caught myself and thought better of it. Sometimes the humour doesn't sit too well in emails or in forums.

Quite true - we've seen jokes fall flat on this forum a number of times (and even a few people get - temporarily - quite upset)... and that's despite the fact that these are some of the friendliest forums out there

Yes I remember getting into trouble with tsang about something I thought was the cleverest thing I'd said in years.

Well, I'm not going to answer that question in the event I may incriminate myself. But that article reminded me of an incident but with voicemail.

At a medical equipment manufacturer that I used to work for, a man recorded a derogatory message to another co-worker about the president of the company. Instead of hitting the button to send the message just to that co-worker, he sent it to all extensions including the president's. Needless to say, that man did not work there very long after.

That's why comments like that are better said in person than recorded
