Letter from Susan J Behrens, Cambridge I'd like to mention the vast potential that e-mail holds for two colleagues "getting to know one another". Flirting by e-mail benefits those of us who cannot control our fundamental frequencies when embarrassed, who tend to blush easily, and who may fear that incriminating mail will be carelessly left around the home or office. Of course, it all leaves us little hope for one day seeing our collected letters in print. But come on, you don't really think all those people at terminals are really working do you?
