right, but this leads back to what I said before. Why not just lay down and die? It's like the ultimate form of analysis paralysis. What if there are better people to hang out with? What if I'm not meeting those better people

OTOH, email is vastly easier to automate and swamp your resources than phone calls, and so forth. I also don't find the argument that people can't find a phone to call, but can email to hold much water. My bank is allowed to refu
