re: #37 Aceofwhat?

You’re right, but a true professional (in any profession - mine is far more pedestrian than most) writes every email as if the recipient is going to share it with an audience wider than you intended. It’s second nature to me now.

I’m in no way endorsing or excusing the phony scandal, but scientists could learn something useful here from the more buttoned-up work culture that many of us belong to.

I work for a game developer that sells its products all over the world, and this is so not true. My boss and I trade Ims that would either look like nerd gibberish to an outsider, or could easily be taken out of context (context being running jokes) to make me sound insane or unstable.
