wildblue 7 #1 April 28, 2004 Why do I cringe every time someone ends an email with "Please advise" Somehow, I lose a lot of respect for them (if they had any before) Do they think it sounds good? Or do they think I really just want to ignore them? Screw read reciepts, let's just put "please advise" at the bottom of every email - that'll get things done! This is my request to you - join my fight against the Please Advisors. If you're a PA, please seek help. If you have to deal with a PA on a daily basis, please feel free to give out ideas on how to combat this problem.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course most of the bad Canadian jokes are down here on I95 serving the same purpose as bacon bits in your arteries. Well, at least most of 'em are in the northbound lanes this time of year... Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?
