or does this mean he's returned on August 26th?

does he even law? what kind of retarded ambiguity is this.

The plain language of the message clearly indicates he will be available again on August 26. You should be able to rely on that.

But if you have reason based on experience or other factors to think he is retarded (in which case he may have meant he'll be flying / driving back from vacation on 8-26 and not available properly until 8-27) you may want to clarify that with him. One quick check you could perform: Is his away message still up right now?

I'll send you a bill for $360 for this analysis. Thanks.

e: up to $720 for full exchange; just had to respond to a follow-on complaint now you're at $1080; some of my work is getting press attention (blank bumps) and I intend to use it for bus. dev. purposes but if you have any concerns happy to discuss.

thank. i agree regarding the plan language.

however, i received the message a half ago, and he's on the west coast. this could suggest various things, such as that he's retarded, that his trip got delayed, or that he's a late starter and doesn't consider the day to stat until past 10am.

If he's your enemy, strategically exploit his language and operate on the presumption he's in office based on that language.

If he's your bro, best to do a confirmatory reach out before you inundate him with something.

it's actually me asking him something as a minor favor, and it doesnt matter one bit if it takes 3 days for him to respond, it's nbd. im just trying to see if he's retarded.

Just write him and ask him that question if that's what you're really interested in. Better to be direct: "Are you retarded?"

I've actually found that "Are you retarded?" leads to trouble so I now go with the xo approved "State your IQ before I engage you further"

so long as he is back in office at some point during the date in question, the message remains accurate. the persistence of the message during some portion of that date is non-dispositive.

That works as a literalist argument but here in the real world, counselor, we consider being in the office to mean available from a reasonable start of the business day. We'll grant him some slack for recovering from travel but it's now 2 pm on the east coast. Your argument falters and this panel is Not Impressed

I understand you would like the message to necessarily carry an implication that fundamentally alters the plain language in a manner that you find preferable, but that is not how we do things on XO. We are officers of the court and we are scholars. “Literalism” should be our aim, not a slur.

Respond to the out-of-office message to ask for clarification, and if it spits back the same message then that’s just confirmation of the literal interpretation.

it’s kind of funny that the part of lawyering that should translate to coding—making short statements of absolute clarity with mathematical precision—still seems beyond your ken.
