I have to agree with Pam, Rick and the rest of the pro-e-mail group.  I
have a friend at work whom I *could* talk with in person at almost any
time.  Our offices are close, we're both very "verbal" and enjoy
face-to-face conversation.  However, we find that many of our most
significant "conversations" take place via e-mail.  We're both just more
comfortable with being able to think things through, write, edit, and read
a sentence several times before making a reply, especially when the
subject may be a bit difficult or complicated.  It just works better for
us.
