Having an awareness that there may be a 'blind spot' is always a good thing I believe. I know that I've been misunderstood on several occasions on-line, in email and even in person.

The key, which I think you have discovered, is to be aware that it may or could happen so you can guard against it and if in doubt work on clarifying the exchange.

I've always enjoyed your insight and comments - sometimes they were a way of looking at something I had not considered and that was/is helpful. As the saying goes (sort of) Stuff Happens!
