Or maybe you just misunderstood what I was saying. Trust me, I'm not interested in what you and your wife do, how much you enjoy it, where you went to dinner or when you'll reply.

Yes, but *I* am. It's common courtesy when delaying a reply to mention why; and most people can relate to talk birthday dinners with a spouse.

If you think that's 'light pleasantries', I'd hate to see what you consider graphic.

Maybe you should read some of Laz's posts...

Cheers!

"Yes, but *I* am."

Well just because *you* are doesn't mean that *I* would be. Does that make sense to you?

"It's common courtesy when delaying a reply to mention why; and most people can relate to talk birthday dinners with a spouse."

Again, this all hinges on the definition of 'delay'. If you think I am expecting an immediate reply, you would be wrong. So if you believe that you must absolutely let me know, a simple, "I will get back to you in 2 days" is more than sufficient.

I don't need to know where you and your wife go to dinner, what you and your wife do or how much you enjoy it. Maybe you should consider that some people consider it (1) irrelevant and (2) gross to share such information.

"Maybe you should read some of Laz's posts... Cheers! (Laz, sorry to drag you into this, just a courtesy ping since your name was mentioned.)"

Now you are dragging some guy named 'Laz' into this? Dude, what does it take for you to catch on?
