Email is an excellent tool if used properly. Be careful what you write and where you write it, as it may get sent in the heat of the moment, causing you much pain or embarrassment in the future.
Email is a wonderful tool, especially if used properly.
I'm part of a group of five or six friends, who "physically" get together most weekends (as opposed to virtually). We also email each other, usually every few days, to generally trade jokes, share news, and discuss scheduling problems to do with when we are next getting together. We are starting to talk on Messenger too.
One Monday a few weeks ago, our emailing rate suddenly spiked to more than thirty emails in about twelve hours. Unfortunately this was a few days after someone new had just joined our group. Luckily she didn't flee in terror, and things calmed down.
Things really NEEDED to calm down because most of the thirty plus emails were coming from a fight between two of my friends. I'll call them Katrina and Chris.
Hopefully, reading this article won't restart the fight. (If it does I'll expect an angry email or two saying, 'I won't be coming on Sunday
