T-Rex: "Sorry for the delay! I'm bad at email!" is something I have typed MANY a time, but I just got it sent to me for the first time!! It's not the same! It's bad when it happens to you!!
T-Rex: AND NOW MY OPINION IS WE ALL NEED TO GET GOOD AT EMAIL!
T-Rex: Bottom line: email's not new and it's how lots of people communicate. I know it sucks and I know it's easy to leave an email for days or weeks or months or yes years, don't lie we've all done years, but STILL: there's got to be a better way, right? Like maybe we can teach "how to answer emails" in schools so at least in a generation we'll be better at it??
Utahraptor: Counterpoint: I will forever be proudly bad at email!
T-Rex: GASP
Utahraptor: If you want a response, email me again or it's not happening! I'm hereby your DIFFICULT FRIEND who TAKES EFFORT and is always a SPECIAL CASE. Will I die alone? Oh, most probably. But will I die with ZERO ANXIETY OR REGRETS ABOUT EMAILS UNANSWERED? That, my friend, is a HARD YES.
T-Rex: Yeah, well, I WON'T die alone, because I'll have my anxiety AND regrets to keep me company! And with every email I don't reply to, I get new ones! FOR FREE!!
T-Rex: I KNOW I'M LOSING THIS ARGUMENT BUT MY TONE AND RAISED VOICE SUGGESTS I'M WINNING, SO THERE!!
