Diana,

That’s brilliant! I wonder if I could get my mail program to start charging me when I go over a word limit. I tend to say too much, and then nobody reads it.

Better yet, I wonder if I could get my boss to let me install something like that on him. When he starts talking you know it’s going to be a while. Ordinarily that’s just a minor nuisance, but when he spouts some patently wrong information in support of his point then rambles on for another five minutes, it’s hard to call him on it. You’d think the guy was running for office or something.

Dave
