Now see, I wasn't going to post to this thread so as not to distract Ray but since it's turned into a more general discussion...
I love email for communications. Email is 'right away when I get to it'. Phone calls and text messages demand your attention. Snail mail (postal) makes everyone wait for the long transmission time. With email, you get to it when it's convenient for you and as soon as you send your message, it's waiting for them. Waiting, not interrupting.
Doesn't mean I don't talk on the phone, but the ever-indulgent wife and I share something like 300 minutes / month (maybe more, not sure) and we've never even come close to using them all.
