        Wow -- that makes it an ESPECIALLY BAD communication blunder...

          The title of this thread is not "Please don't ask people to give out personal contact information".

          It is "How NOT to communicate with people".

          How would phrasing the post in your way help communicate the subject given in the title?

          The issue wasn't that the person asked - it was about HOW the communication was done.

          Exactly! I mean, who could say it any better?

          The point is, subject lines of posts here at DD are important. At least to some of us.

              "Power is an illusion." Sounds like the guy's been reading too much of this (and got confused.)

                Personally, I wouldn't give contact information on anyone to someone I didn't personally know, and, in my opinion, just asking for the information was out of line--before even getting to the snide comment in return.

                Show business or any business.

                Also, there are probably a lot of people who see TV shows like Hell's Kitchen and get the idea that being a belligerent ass is the way to get ahead.

                It's like asking, "Hey, I don't know you, but I'd like to call your friend to sell him some insurance, will you give me his number?"

                  I wonder if some of the responses on this thread and the pitch to MichaelB thread may have discouraged him from responding.

                    No, it was just the quality of the loglines :-)

                        Best response yet.

                        We're all lucky to have both Michael and Geoff around here. Both of them have been extremely professional and courteous to me, and they certainly deserve the same treatment. I'm mystified as to how even this thread, making such a simple and unassailable point, could devolve into controversy.

                              Absolute power corrupts absolutely. So does absolute powerlessness. I kind of like a balance, myself.

                                Nah.

                                I'm pretty sure it's because I have him locked in my crawlspace all nice and docile-like after I sandpapered his skin and soaked him in some lemon juice for a spell.
