OH-EM-Gee. Honestly, I must say this, or
start to say it, 5-10x daily. It drives me insane. I actually have an email-checker now, to keep me from saying impolitic things like that to our customers (usually, our repeat customers that are on their 3rd, 4th, 5th book and you'd THINK that by now...)
And why, Why,
WHY? Can
anyone explain to me why it is that people who are writing books, have written books and have published books, cannot seem to communicate clearly in writing? Vis: instructions from them to us? And can't read the ones from us to them?
Am I the only person who finds that utterly mind-blowing???? I mean, the irony is so thick you couldn't cut it with a tree axe!
So, ApK, you have my complete and total sympathies! When did people just develop first-line-skimming? Is that new or was it always like this?
