My wife is a very beat around the bush type, particularly in typing emails to customers, vendors, and colleagues, not wanting to be just direct and to the point.
I tend to be direct as well, some times too much, but I also know my audience so that if I know the person to whom I am directly speaking and they are not the direct type, then I don't do the direct type, but this is a bbs, web site, and anyone can be offended by anything, and that's where differing opinions makes the world go round.

Amazed how people will come here asking for advise from people they know nothing about.
Last week went to a financial dinner with the so called advisor telling us how many people he has helped in over 20 years.
Noticed he said nothing about his background and didnt want questions so during the dinner planned to ask questions.
His office manager comes around to collect the sheets on setting up appointments so ask her the question. She has no clue.
Later on he comes around and I ask the question and he starts telling me about his childhood and early schooling so finally look at him and say you do realize that is not what I am asking.
Than he tells me about the on line courses he took. Never mentioned any classes in whatever schooling he did. Said thank you and he walked away.
Remarkably nobody seems to think this is important when he is asking you to entrust your life sayings with him.
Was a very nice dinner though.
