A fun anecdote:
My grandmother says that before telephones, she used to make plans by post! At that time there were 4-5 postal deliveries per day, so she could exchange messages with friends while at work to make arrangements for that evening.
Bu I agree that it’s nice to have that separation. I think email used to provide that long-form channel, but it’s too swamped by transactional rubbish these days.
