The worst part of voicemail was not even the monologues, but the fact that the important bit of information may be hidden deep within the various boring screed.

The worst part of voicemail was not even the monologues, but the fact that the important bit of information may be hidden deep within the various boring screed. The issue is that most people have no idea how to communicate and voicemail is a very painful method to be forced to endure from someone who cant get to the point. Email generally takes more effort to produce (since its not as much of a train of "thought") and its way easier to summarize as the consumer, so you can just hunt out the golden info in the pile of crap.
