ABers moods

[dot.hawkes]

Do you think you can tell another abers mood just from the writing on the webpage in front of you? What signifiers do you look for? Tone, vocabulary, emotional content?

I know I cant!!
I just assume everybody is in a good mood until they start cussing and swearing!!

I don't even know what mood i'm in and i am writing this.Ah well off to pub quiz now, wish me luck.

Good luck!
i think sometimes you can tell the mood by the 'type' of question being asked, sometimes if i am in a mood, i can ask a Q that i am sure will get certain peoples backs up, and you know your gonna end up having a slanging match with half a dozen people, and then occaisionally i have replied with something i thught was lighthearted and funny and someones had a go at me and told me to 'grow up' or 'get a life' etc indicating that THEY are in a bad mood!
just for the record................i am in an OK mood today : )

I think it depends, once you get to know people better, it is easier to tell, I know that there are some people that email me at work that type exactly the way that they talk and you can almost hear their voice when you are reading. I think though that it becomes more difficult if you have never heard them speak.

Well Dot, things have been very, very dodgy. I've not had a computer for 2 months. It crashed and when I went to have it repaired, they kept wanting to wipe the hard drive. As you can imagine, I really didn't want them to do that. So I've been using a friends' PC and also going to the library. In the end, they wiped the hard drive, but I managed to save most of my files. So now I'm back! Woo! Hoo!

I hope you're keeping well too Dot.
