Conversation

My median email response time has plummeted from like 24h to 4 weeks over the last year, without any particular increase in load. I think a critical mass of interesting conversations have moved to DMs and slack so email now evokes a “shit place full of bot-gen crud” aversion.
Replying to
Email has been my go-to medium of communication for 25 years. I'm a laborious handwriter & (almost) never finish letters, & I generally dislike phones. The ability to expound at length, with no time-pressure & with the leisure to think befoe responding, has been crucial.
