Deneb,
I'm curious about why you send such emails, especially if they bother you later on?I think, after it happens a few times, the apologies dmay not mean as much to the people who are affected. Probably....to get back in the good graces of the powers that be, changing your behavior in the future is the best way to go.
I obviously can't talk for anyone else, and I'm clearly NOT speaking for gg or Dr. Bob or Dinah. My observations are based on other experiences with other people. For me, if someone continues to hurt me or does something that bothers me...and apologizes every time... but keeps doing it again and again...I lose trust in that person.
I mean, I think you're right to worry about others' reactions. If you sent damaging or potentially hurtful emails to other people, it's possible that they COULD start to develop negative feelings towards you. (Again -- I'm NOT speaking for anyone here, only making observations on what I believe to be normal human nature!) So I think that changing the behavior is the best way to ensure that people have POSITIVE feelings about you & your emails.
That's my advice...take it or leave it! :)
