I would be delighted to see those references, as it's a field I'm currently
quite interested in.

I'd also like to point out that I not only not think badly about Ron, but
that based on years of reading his posts (sadly I don't know him
personally), I don't think that he was going against you.

Communication is hard, and often the way we interprete a message says at
least as much about ourselves as it says about the sender. Doubly so in
written communication, where a whole lot of communication channels is
missing that we use in face to face communication. That's why I find it an
effective practice to assume the best and try to interprete every post as if
the sender had the best intentions.

The only references I can give you are the german works of Schulz von Thun
("Miteinander Reden") and the sections "Modalities in Communication" and
"The Impact of Removing Modalities" from Cockburn's "Agile Software
Development".

Regards, Ilja
