That email breeds ill communication. An imperfect medium for the english language. When words mean different things based on context and tone, text will not do. There was a time when letter writing was an art form. I was hoping that email would bring that back. That intelligent discourse would flow. But it seems that speech is a better medium. But this doesn't give anyone the right to spout insults at people based on inadequacies of textual communication. Intelligent discussion can only breed intelligence. Ignorance only spawns more ignorance. What did yours do? -daniel n.p. moodyman - silentintroduction
