Someone posted that they did this earlier---so cool.

1. wonder what "i'll try" means

[smiley_glad_hands]

2. She probably doesn't want to come across as biased---suppose.

3. i was meaning moreso that you weren't asking any questions, just

commenting on things past. but it's just a minor point, i'm not saying it means anything

[codegreen]

4. damn i'm stupid, nevermind, you said "keep up the good work"

that's what she was refering to. i must be high.

5. That's OK

Even if you are "high". Not that I'm saying you are or anything.

6. She's careful in the wording of her response, but always gracious....

A national treasure, that. And, I LOVE the beret!

7. That's nice. The last time I emailed her she dissed me...

Kind of. She sent back a reply (acknowledging receipt of my email) with no reponse. :wtf:

That was when I slightly took her to task on her piece about how the candidates shouldn't gang up on and damage Dean because he was the frontrunner at that time. As it turns out, I was right and she was wrong. How often will I be able to say that?

8. Good Idea!

I just sent her a "Thank You" myself. I don't particularly need or expect a response. Sometimes its just good to let people know that you appreciate them. (This is not a commentary on any other poster. Just my view of the world.)

9. She's nice

The last time I emailed her I called her "Hellen Hunt" by mistake! :) She was nice about it.
