Ask Mr. Manners

摘要

Noted etiquette expert Miss Manners (Judith Martin) recently turned her attention and talents to the world of electronic exchanges (Miss Manners Basic Training: Communication, Crown Publishers Inc., New York). We heartily endorse Miss M's attempts to civilize the digerati. But a few special cases have come to our attention that only DATA COMM can resolve. DEAR MR. MANNERS- Part of my job at a high-powered PR firm is sending faxes about new product releases to corporate networkers. It seems as if I spend my days toiling over an overheated fax machine, but I'm not getting many return calls. My boss has taken to making sarcastic comments about my communications skills. Can you help?
