Weblog:   Is e-mail failing us?

I thought you were going to take the opposite point.


It's SO easy for people to just fire off an email to me, that hundreds of people do it who really shouldn't.


Any little whim that comes into their mind becomes my damn responsibility to answer, now.


I'd like to make it harder to contact me. Stop using email. Get a Post Office box. Tell people if it's important, to mail me a letter. That will cut out 99% of the little whimsical questions and comments I get each day.

    Hi!

    It is true that the apparent facility of using e-mail can lead to abuse and painful mistakes — something any business postmaster has to deal with on a daily basis.
