Put some <wink>'s or ;-)'s or :-)'s where you think you are being funny. It helps it to actually be funny <wink>. When you tell a funny story to someone in person, they can see your expression and/or hear the tone of your voice. When writing e-mail you must explicitly include such hints to the readers. The lack of such punctuation in your e-mail makes you sound very serious about it. :-) -D (cc'd incase you already unsubscribed)
