E-mail is a joke.

E-mail can be the best, or the worst invention ever. Snail mail is excactly that. Like a snail. It may take longer to write, and to get there, but that also means that the person you're writing to would hopefully realize that it took time and thoughtfullness for a person to send you a letter as well. But E-mail... not so lucky. You may write a 3-4 kb e-mail (or 2 or 3 emails) and the person will not reply, and if they do, not promply. Probably because they think "well it's only an e-mail, it didnt take that long. Well I'm here to say that this is not so. I have to make a concious effort to check my mail regularly and to reply...right away. You would think that others would have the decency to do so, but if you think that, you're wrong. I've written countless e-mails that have gone unanswered and it's really annoying. So if someone that you might not think is very busy, or expects you to write them back, think again. Please be considerate to others and write back, even if it's only two sentences. It's the human thing to do.

Whoever said nothing was impossible, never tryed slamming a revolving door.
