The air must be thinner the higher up the management chain you go, or maybe it just gives you more opportunities to look stupid. Like this message:
From: <some upper manager>
Subject: <some subject>I will try to keep this relatively brief as I know how busy everyone is.
<… 4-page message follows…>
If this is brief, I’d hate to see a “somewhat lengthy” message.
Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
