Email rules Bernstein should have followed

State's Attorney Gregg L. Bernstein could have easily avoided the unfavorable fall-out ("Bernstein raised eyebrows with email on court case," June 3) over his errant email message if he had simply complied with Fuller's Three Rules of Email Correspondence. For example:

Rule 1: Compose every email like you would talk on a crowded elevator.

Rule 2: Check and re-check every email for grammar, punctuation, relevance and accuracy.

Rule 3: Don't send it!

Strict adherence to Fuller's Rules will absolutely, positively prevent your embarrassment from having excerpts of your thoughtless e-missive rehashed in the local media.
