And why not? Each to their own?<br /><br />Ruth I too delete most forwarded stuff unless it's from one or two people I know always send me really good stuff. But that's the problem, though isn't it? You never know if it's good stuff or not?<br /><br />Any case I love email too and really cannot see how we managed before it. Or how did we manage before blogging?<br /><br />Helena xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658858373848443540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-33997633651148369672010-05-18T17:34:23.354+01:002010-05-18T17:34:23.354+01:00I have your same questions about what's proper...I have your same questions about what's proper and what's not. I can't imagine a world without emails but I also wish a real letter would come in the mail. I think my problem with emails is I tend to turn them into letters (which is what I am doing now). I envy those short, crisp emails others send so well.Kittie Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756250649095903317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-63912840741011225242010-05-17T22:52:22.843+01:002010-05-17T22:52:22.843+01:00Dont like round robins always delete before readin...Dont like round robins always delete before reading .. incase I get drawn in .. I actually delete most forward that I get unless I know its a serious email.<br />I always reply as soon as .. because I forget.. but people who know me, also know that I talk fast. I am impulsive and would be like that in person too .. :) <br />Couldn't live without it.. I used to write a lot of letters and this is wonderful xxWildernesschichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204518870992194687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-60120553278424881592010-05-17T22:03:34.365+01:002010-05-17T22:03:34.365+01:00I must say, I can't imagine living in a world ...I must say, I can't imagine living in a world with no emails or mobile phones. I honestly don't know how I would operate. But, I am keen letter writer, so my emails usually end up sounding like letters. I know that with emails, if you're emailing a friend, you don't need to really structure it and put "Yours" or something at the end. However, I always do! Plus, I always title, proof read and check for grammar and spelling...I know, it seems like a waste of time, but I just hate the thought of sending out an incoherent message.Sam Liuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014838954712295981noreply@blogger.com
