Email me?

Recently i have been doing a serious amount of ranting about emails! The etiquette of replying to emails etc etc! It is amazing to find that in this day and age, some people have still not realized how important email communications is. Late replies or no replies are obvious but often a reply that does not answer or address the questions or issues asked previously is a huge problem as well. I have found that i rely on email so much & often prefer to use it for communication when working through a project. Initial contact can & should be personal or over the phone but relating info, answering questions etc is best with emails, as the info is in text, saved and stored for my records. I can go back to it, i do not have to follow a conversation & write it down on a piece of paper which i will often lose. Some of you get that, some of you do not and probably will not. Is it just a complete lack of understanding? Who knows, i just wish more people i interact with would go with it, embrace the speed & effectiveness of an email and step into 2009. Here is hoping............otherwise i might crack up
