yes I agree totally....the written word, while it can be powerful in one sense, can also be misunderstood very easily in another. I read a long time ago that when we communitcate face to face that the words are only 30% of the impact of the conversation. The 70% are things like tone, smile, eyes, body language, etc etc. So in HC, or even to a lesser degree a phone chat, can mislead and confuse the intent of the words. A misunderstanding of intent can easily happen when only 30% of the message is coming through , and we fill in the substantial blanks using our own experiences. So totally fraught with danger! I guess HC isn't a great example of this due to the fact that most messages are such that it's pretty easy to gauge the intent...lol

not to mention autocorrect errors, fat fingers and poor proofreading. There’s many Occassions when I haven’t got a clue what I was saying when I go back and read it. I’d swear it’s a plot !
