My excuses are a) I'm a senior dev usually answering a support colleague's question while I'm trying to concentrate on one or two other things, b) I'm doing them a favor by answering an email instead of a formal issue, and c) the questions are usually posed in a stream of consciousness fashion interspersed with all sorts of other relevant and irrelevant material.<br /><br />I have a hard time envisioning Aviatrix authoring a blurry and rambling email, and even if that were the case, one would have to think that the applicant -- being in the position that he or she is -- would take the time to dig through it with care regardless. After all, it's a job on the line.<br /><br />It's probably as much about over-eagerness, or possibly laziness, as poor communication skills; that doesn't change the conclusion, alas for the applicant.<br /><br />kschendelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728760771330607655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-549860908192785042016-02-19T23:04:21.266+00:002016-02-19T23:04:21.266+00:00I've learned from harsh experience to only ask...I've learned from harsh experience to only ask one question per email. Even other software developers, who you think would have a passing familiarity with Internet technology, seem to see just one question.Paul Tomblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728282967367577245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-37437155757902993352016-02-19T00:57:17.287+00:002016-02-19T00:57:17.287+00:00This makes me so sad.

It's right, I know that, but I still am sad for the vast multitude who may be useful but who have grown up staring at the idiot box and have scant communication skills.
