The law required that I give more money to the stockbroker, the bond trader, and the banker, than to the waiter, the policeman, the fireman, and the soldier at the Pentagon.

What would you do to distinguish yours from the others? What change would make your email amazingly easy to deal with and not insane? Does the content of your email belong someplace else? Like an SMS, a face-to-face meeting — or maybe even in an angry, venting screed that you never send.
