Franklin was truly an amazing man and a great American patriot. His Tory son was Governor of NJ, and they never spoke once the war began.

Franklin is my #1 hero in US History. A genius who, unlike most geniuses, was practical, wise, and understood human relations better than almost anyone.
The list of his accomplishments is staggering. And he ALWAYS had a terrific sense of humor .

Perhaps Franklin thought better of that letter because he never sent it.If he'd had e-mail, it would have been too late!

If he'd had e-mail, it would have been too late! There is new software that allows one to retrieve an email after sending. Don't know the details, but I guess it may zap it enroute or snatch it out of the recipient's in-box if it's not yet been read.

Good point...my rule of thumb is always sleep on any email that has even a tad of negativity. That rule has saved me some embarrassment.

We had that on the internal system at my employer in the early 90's. If the message hadn't been read, the content would be removed, but the recipient would have a notice that said, "Message recalled by sender" or something like that.

If he'd had e-mail, it would have been too late!Do you mean the undo function does not work on e-mail? Dang! No wonder I haven't been hearing from anyone.

I enjoy reading the biographies of important Americans,when I got to Franklin, I picked up Walter Isaacson's- BF An American Life.It is really dry and a slow read. Could you recommend a better book?

Ben Franklin is a personal hero. Wise, sage, brilliant of mind, and with a randy set of loins.
He's who I aspire to be.
