Quite so.  However, I would say that the ability to write well in
email (or computer conferencing) carries with it some added credibility
in the use of these media.  A more literate junior person can run
circles around a less literate boss, for instance.  Perhaps people
uncomfortable with the written (electronic) word avoid the medium.
