There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Eric GilbertHow do the emails that we send to our bosses differ from those we send to colleagues or subordinates?
For one thing, people tend to be a lot more polite and deferential to those who rank above them. For another, we tend to chose our words much more carefully when speaking up the corporate ladder. If you work in any kind of white-collar job, you've probably had the experience of carefully crafting an email to a boss, versus banging one out to your colleague or subordinate.
