I know you mean well, but my personal belief is that you won't really make a positive impression on anyone by attacking them verbally (even if it is "anonymous") Using phrasing like this just turns people off from whatever you might be saying, valid or not. If you wouldn't speak to someone in person in the manner in which you e-mail them, then you open the door to all kinds of hostility.

no offense, but the email could have been worded more kindly and gently... screaming "ARE YOU KIDDING ME" and telling someone they NEED to do something is not the best way to sway people to voluntarily do something. just my :twocents:

ETA: sorry tina, we posted at the same time! :)

Wow, that was an insanely rude email that you sent her. I, too, would have written you off as someone trying to cause trouble who has no clue what s/he is talking about.

honestly, that probably wasnt the best way to go about informing her...it was pretty rude really. i am sure her intention was not to kill other peoples children.

and as far as the other seat, it doesnt look very old to me...maybe inform her that seats expire after six years...dont just flag her down and theres no proof of its age...jmo

For some reason the first thing that came to my mind was maybe it was a "typo". It is best to give people the benefit of the doubt when there is a typed message/listing.

Yeah, there is no better way to put a person on the defensive than to send them an email like that... A little more tact would have been nice. Wrong or not, I probably would have snapped back at you too..
