According to recent research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, I've only a 50-50 chance of ascertaining the tone of any e-mail message. The study also shows that people think they've correctly interpreted the tone of e-mails they receive 90 percent of the time.

Now this only confirms what I think many of us know - and also what I personally have said often on this forum when trying to interveene in "brewing misunderstandings" in various threads.
Read what is written and not what (perhaps) was intended or what "I" think is written, is in my view the best course to take.
Thoughts? Opinions? Right/Wrong?
