Not at all. We need to figure out a way to add emotions to these
e-mails. The other day I responded to an e-mail I received from
my wife. She was asking me to add a few lines to an e-mail she
was sending to a common friend. In my response I made a joke that
costed me two days of tension at home. Her perception was that I
was insulting her in the presence(!) of a friend and this was a
perception of someone who knows me since 1983.

There are serious problems with this medium.

Best,
Sabri
