The Perfect PM

11 Sep 2005

This is slightly paranoid but what the heck!
Have you ever sent a PM to someone and then thought 'hmmmmm that could be improved' and so gone back to it edited it and made it say what you really mean - and then done it again and maybe again (depends on how much time you have) rolleyes

?
Well I have and even now I don't think it's right.

11 Sep 2005

Yes, many times. It's a bit of a bugger if they've picked it up straight away though, before you get a chance to edit/improve it.

11 Sep 2005

Yeah i do it all the time as well, still usually crap tho after 5 edits

11 Sep 2005

Do you mean AND send it to 'em again each time you've edited it? dunno

Eeeeeeeek! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Don't PM me will you? :scared: bolt

11 Sep 2005

I am a perfectionist when I write PMs and posts. I check to see they look alright, however after I have sent them, I often think something could be improved. In fact, just reading this post through........shall I..........Oh sod it - I will post and be damned!

Now don't fret! Every time you edit the message it looks as though it's the first attempt - providing the recipient doesn't read it in te meantime.
I think i owe you a PM!! :twisted:

I always apply the theory of publish and be damned when it comes to e-mails... posts and PM's. The only exception is I correct broken smilies in my posts.

11 Sep 2005

Recently I said something in a pm that I should not have done redface

But was unable to get back into SH to edit it (in office)
So I sent the person an email to say I wished to remove the comment surprised

ops: :oops:

Just have a look in your outbox. If the PM's still there you can edit it 'cos it hasn't been opened yet!

me too but i feel a right twat when i spot typos...apart from that, i always stand by my posts even if i disagree with what ive said sometimes. Does that make sense? Probably not!
Imperfections make us human so I forgive others, and therefore myself, when making stupid statements, judgements, posts etc...as long as we can laugh at ourselves afterwards.

I find that's my principle when posting in a thread but PMs seem so much more personal that I want to get 'em right.

i agree with PM's as they are more personal and if someone has taken the time to PM me then i will take time to be nice back...unless it's johneboy or postie of course, in which case i just respond as cheekily as i find..ad a few flipa

and im done.

11 Sep 2005

I think we are getting confused here... I spend the time to craft the perfect PM... but when its done its done. Write it, Read it, Send it. Doesn't make you less thoughtful, just a bit more decisive.

Yeah, but if nobody is perfect, which rule are yer talking about then??

11 Sep 2005

After making mistakes in lots of pm's,I gave up on the paranoia and found that it sometimes made for a good chat and further discussion.
Luckily haven't managed to mortally offend anybody (yet!).

11 Sep 2005

but then again only sent a couple :cry:

The unspoken but ubiquitously acknowledged rule that there is an exception to the rule - if you want a logical explanation, watch "The Matrix - Reloaded" and pay attention to The Architect's description of the creation of the mathematical anomaly that lead to the creation of "The One" - I can't be arsed to quote it verbatim at this time

11 Sep 2005

I avoid realy pm anyone as i feel my grammar ain't as good as all you lot....and if i did pm, would probably take me 5 days of editing it to get it to look right blink

And thats after i have asked my hubby how to spell just about every word lol

I aint thick, just that my English was never my strongest subject lol

11 Sep 2005
