Frankly when I re-read my own e-mails sometimes I find them a little
bit dry to say the least. But it's not intentional. I'm just having some
difficulties expressing myself on my second language. I should probably
use more words like "please" and "thank you" to smooth this effect. My
sincere apologies to anyone who was offended in any way.
