It is not just you. I've been trying to keep it to myself a little more.

Well, you don't have to spank us grammatically just to give *me* a thrill, but I will say again that I always found your "discipline" quite touching. It's the passion, man, the passion.

Two days on my new job and I compose an introductory e-mail to 3 groups composing about 200 people. Following a tendency to lame, self-deprecating humor, I write something like:

"I am Jim Hogan who some of you may have already had the questionable pleasure to meet."

Then at the last minute I realize "Oh, I gotta tell 'em who I am reporting to!" and insert "reporting to Ms. Bosswoman" right after "Jim Hogan" -- without any parentheses.
