I've sure
heard about that delete button but I think
it can't replace a sound culture of discussion. In an
oral conversation you can't talk 80% of the time.
Here, I sometimes get the impression that some people
believe the more (and the longer) e-mails they write,
the more right they are.
I second this. Sometimes discussions are ended this way before most
people even found out it had started. It is not necassary in a
discussion to immediately respond to every mail another person writes
within 10 seconds of the mail arriving in your inbox. Waiting 24 hours
never hurts!
The 24-hour wait is a reality in a world-wide project where we all live
in different time zones. Those in your own time zone can respond
quickly, but those on the other side of the world won't see your
message until tomorrow.
