Wonderful rules to live by!!And regarding Rule 2 ...Though shall ensure ensure ensure that if sending an email to everyone in one's address book, the 'blind copy' section is ticked! A perfect example ... the receptionist at our family physician's office was leaving and she sent a 'group email' to every single patient.
