- What do YOU call e-mail correspondence ?
-
- "Talk" is certainly incorrect.
- "Writing" doesn't seem to fit.
- "e-mailing" doesn't have the right ring.
- "Networking" applies in other areas.
-
- "Flaming" describes a certain kind of correspondence, but I'm looking
- for a word that describes civilized discourse.
-
- So _what_, already ?
-
- (winners will be notified by e-mail. you need not be present to win)
