E-mail is one communication medium next to telephone, face to face conversations, instant messaging, online networks and many others. They all have their own spot in the communication mix like you mentioned about e-mail and long prose. What I always tell the people in my training courses is to forget about your own favorite communication medium. For example: I hate text messaging, but I know that my best friend doesn't answer his phone, replies to e-mail a few days later, but answers within 20 minutes to a text message. So my advice: use the favorite communication medium of the person you want to reach. Jan Founder of Networking Coach (http://www.networking-coach.com) Hi Scott,
