[Editor's apology: This sounds harsh. It's a real-life, real-time example of a communication miss. My intro has made people cringe. I'm guilty of carelessly compromising one of our core values; encouragement. The message here is that we can always do better. Including me. Read on, knowing this list is intended to show...
