Increasingly I’m beginning to notice a trend with the emails I send and receive to some people.

They are almost like a conversation.

Greeting? Skipped. Closing? Skipped. Message? Just the words of the conversation.

This is in no means a complaint. I find it very effcient sometimes to have, what are essentially, offline IM conversations, via email on certain topics with certain people.

Now, if I can just get some of the people I talk to on occassion to not treat the IM window like an email, I’ll be set.

   I’m feelin’ that. My family has started using email as their primary mode of communication, and that’s great. However…I’m thinking I might send them a link to this post. I could really do without the “Hi. How are you’s”, a few times a day. Maybe we’re just efficiently cold?

   Maybe.

   I do, however, find it odd that you signed your comment
