I really dislike ending an email with "Shoot me an email".... it's so over used. Even you Brian (no offense Bri-Guy) are guilty of resorting to using this completely unoriginal phrase. I'm surprised, as I'm judging you! Ha So then what are our options? I sure can't think of any. Can you? P.S. Wondering if I come off sounding bitchy or sarcastic.... don't mean to. Judgment time for Lisa. Another post script. My vote is for keeping previous message in reply. I’m stuck on…”If you want more information, just shoot me…” nooo, I can’t say it.

I have one late posting comment to add. Only use reply if you are replying to a message; otherwise start a new message. Using reply to pull up the recipients e-mail and then writing on a new subject turns finding a past e-mail into a nightmare. As you said in your article use a meaningful subject line, referencing an old subject muddies that message. This is a great piece,
Thank you.

One bit of advice I've learned myself (sometimes the hard way): avoid subtle humor, ESPECIALLY sarcasm. It's not only tricky to pick up nuances via e-mail, but in business writing, it can come off as unprofessional. Wait until you've developed a rapport before testing the comedy waters.
