I love email and I let everyone know. I don't chat, text, or tweet. I don't have a land line any more. Only a few people have my cell phone #. My office phone goes directly to voice mail. But email is a different story. I don't have instant notification, so it doesn't interrupt me. I check it when I'm ready and I respond quickly, sometimes immediately, almost always within 24 hours. Modern spam filters have made this a breeze. I bet about half the people I know I have never met, I don't know what they look like, and I've never heard their voice. But we have conducted so much business by email that I feel that I still know them well. I remember that before email, getting something done was as much a matter of managing interruptions as focusing on the task at hand. But email has helped me to once again become the master of my own time. I can't imagine getting much done any other way. [I love hearing from all hn'ers by email. You will get a reply. And you can sign your email any way you want.]
