When Brevity Breeds Ambiguity

by Smitty It’s 0220. Mrs. Other Smitty just returned from a trip, and we’re trying to get settled. Here is a message on Twitter from somebody whose initials are DM: Now, I’ve met the lady in question, and so I’m relatively less creeped out by DM, than, say, DWS. Let me be clear: RSM and […]
