I've been reading the mail on this subject with interest and
agree with everything that's been said.  One additional dimension
that needs to be taken into consideration, though, is
personality.  I think that this form of communication attracts a
certain type of person.  For those of you who are familiar with
the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, I would hypothesize that
Introverts (and especially Introverted Thinkers - like me) would
be more inclined to use e-mail than other types.  I could go on
and on (and stretch this idea further and further) but I would
rather see if this brief comment sparks any interest before
continuing.  Otherwise it really would be like talking to myself!

Pat Bond (INTP) (pbond@note.nsf.gov)  My ideas are my own.  Nobody else
would want them anyway.
