I've found this is true of many people who object to email -- they 
don't want to deal with facts and figures that are best communicated in

Sharon.
(I'm so sick of hearing "face to face." I've never heard this used 
outside of cohousing. Has anyone ever seen anyone actually talk face to 
face? In cartoons it means they are yelling at one another. In the 
movies it means they are in bed or robbing a bank.)
